Jun. 16th, 2018 02:05 pm1. Okay, I know I shouldn't find this hilariously funny but I do:
A gusty Wind sends two Porta-Potties flying through the air in a Colorado Town.
(Don't let the fact that the Tampa Bay Times decided to talk about it, fool you. It happened in Colorado, Florida just chose to discuss it.)
2. Slept late, so my timing for the entire day is off. Ate breakfast around noon. And taking anti-boitics three times a day...so that's off a bit too. Ugh.
3. In college, one of my best pals adored Bon Jovi, she also liked Billy Idol. We used to tease her about her Bon Jovi fetish. My pal was four foot, and I'm six foot. My friends used to wonder if that's what they looked like walking next to me. She came to about my waist. My other friends were about five foot or five'four, so they didn't come much higher. (What can I say, it's that Viking blood. I'm 22-25% Viking).
Here's Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer which is my favorite of his songs.
Warning? Ear-worm song.
Also, love, You Give Love a Bad Name
Same pal got me addicted to X-men comic books...she did it by telling me the back-stories of all the characters and spending hours with me analyzing their motivations. She's also responsible for getting me hooked on Star Trek. I adored her. She was about two years older than me. Was an RA freshman year, graduated, took a job in the area, and I used to visit her apartment on weekends,etc. Her brother was 6'1.
She also turned me on to heavy metal music, punk, and glam rock - such as Bon Jovi, Van Helan, Billy Idol, Sex Pistols, Aerosmith, Queen, Heart, etc. Although my brother and some Junior high pals got a head start with Rush, Van Helan, and Led Zepplin.
And shifting over to Billy Idol White Wedding Part I
Apparently there's two parts? (Also, I know Spike was supposed to be Sid Vicious or Johnny Rotten or Nancy in the Sex Pistols, but apparently the makeup crew didn't get the memo, because he looks more like Billy Idol. And I'm thinking Joss Whedon and the writers confused him with Billy Idol.)
And.. Dancing with Myself.
Okay for comparison purposes...let's look at the Sex Pistols...eh they can't sing. Not that the song really requires it.
[Note the Sex Pistols isn't heavy metal like Bon Jovi, but Punk, and Billy Idol also falls more within the category of Punk than heavy metal. Queen and Heart are Glam Rock, which isn't really punk or heavy metal. There's sub-classifications.]
I'm starting to realize there's a lot of professional recording artists out there who...can't sing. So maybe I could have become a rock singer or country singer?
I prefer Billy Idol. Sorry. Sid Vicious hurts my ears.
As previously noted -- I'd discovered Rush first on my own...this is my favorite Rush Song - Tom Sawyer -- which a Junior High School friend played at a slumber party and I became obsessed with it for a while. I loved the lyrics and how they twisted on themselves.
