I have an entertainment addiction - books, movies, music, gadgets, concerts, opera, dance, all of it. It's like crack to me. I need constant stimulation (no, not in that way, you pervs).
As an encore? A guitars-blazing version of My Heart Will Go On. Yes, really. And screw you Celine Dion, they totally nailed it.
The band is strong. Harry is amazing, with her voice as powerful as ever, her big blond hair (I am guessing ordered online) whipping around, her enthusiasm high.
I tend to view everything as art. Sometimes bad art, but still art. And this evening was art - the music I love, the 65-year-old rock chick still working it with sass, the killer drums and guitars, the Bjork-worthy costume, the audience of trendoids and teens and geeks and seniors and mullets and large men swilling beer and groups of girlfriends with animal print tank tops and self-supporting 80s hair. Art.
Next up for me is a Reba concert in October. Love her, this will be third time live. My husband is happy to be off the hook for that one. I am going with a friend, whose husband bought his ticket for his birthday. We went last time also. It is a surprise for him. Oops, I let it out...guess this will tell me if he reads this blog...

65? Good for her! There's just nothing that compares to that 700's inspired showmanship, eh?
What's wrong with the 'pervy' constant stimulation? Sigh. *rolls eyes*
We old broads can still rock it!
saw her last summer in Boston....what a show! I had no idea what to expect and was afraid she'd be "past her prime" -- and boy, she knocked it out of the park again and again. If you get a chance to see her perform, go!
I just realized how much Blondie I actually listen to. Crazyness. Have fun with Reba! Or maybe not with Reba, but watching and listening to her at the concert. I'm sure she has security people to prevent the former.
She remains the hottest hot bitch ...ever! Now I have Silent Rapture running through my head.
Wowza, "hottest hot bitch... ever"... I love that!
And yes, honey, my eye-rolling husband (so unusual around here), there is nothing wrong with constant stimulation...!
Blondie is ze bomb. The original Blonde Bombshell in fact. I so love heart of glass! xx
Holy crap, is she really 65? She looks amazing. They'll never come to this crappy province, but I'd love to see them. I just realized I still listen to Blondie with alarming regularity.
HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY and I would TOTALLY love to see Blondie with you!!
xoxoxoxo
There seems to be a bit of an 80's thing going on with my friends at the moment, too ... ahh, such good times (and not only cos I was young ... ish ..) ;-)
Fell in love to Blondie ... kudos to Ms Harry, still going strong after all these years. Not many 65 yr-olds could bring it like she does.
