One of my very favorite things to do is go out to a movie with my husband. We have a fantastic theater about 30 miles away called The Rave. I love love love this place! It’s big and roomy, clean, has stadium seating with rocking seats that have arm rests that you can lift up [...]
Hubby and I grilled ribeye steaks for Father’s Day. Our first steaks! I was in charge of the preparation and seasoning, and Hubby did the actual grilling. I picked up my method from my former mother-in-law, which is simply using Adolf’s Meat Tenderizer and pounding with a fork on both sides, then seasoning with garlic [...]
I didn’t catch it on opening day, but I got to see Terminator Salvation this afternoon. The year is 2018. Judgement Day happened. John Connor is now 33 years old and he has a face to remember (and his own Wikipedia page). He’s part of the Resistance, but he’s not the leader. The launch of [...]
The winner of Season 8 of Dancing With the Stars is Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas. Gilles Marini came in second place, with Melissa Rycroft placing third. I really thought Gilles would win and they said that the final score was less than 1% difference between first and second place. Both scored perfect 10s on [...]
We’ve made our way to Adam Ant’s last recorded album and Ant Week is winding down. Wonderful was released in 1995 and it was very much a change for Ant Music. Adam himself said it was the most difficult for him to write because he was trying to create a more mellow sound. This album [...]
As y’all can see, my Ant Week isn’t Monday through Friday. Heh. After the 50s rock and roll sound of Vive Le Rock, Adam evolved yet again to a totally different sound. Marco was still around, but a third guy was added to the songwriting mix. Andre Cymone brought almost a synthetic sound to the [...]
Ok folks, this is a very special entry for Ant Week. We’re up to the point where I entered Ant World. By fall of 1985, I had been listening to Adam Ant’s music for close to a year and I really liked it. But then something very special happened. I saw Adam perform live in [...]
Adam’s next album was “Strip.” The song “Puss ‘N Boots” was the first song on side two. Phil Collins played drums for both “Strip” and “Puss ‘N Boots” and also did a lot of the production work. How’s that for some trivia? More of the makeup came off for this album and the costumes switched [...]
I’m keeping the videos in order, so this next one came out after the Prince Charming album. “Friend or Foe” is the song and the album name. Adam has toned down the makeup a bit by this time. His costumes have moved into a really fun nautical look combined with a bit of cowboy. His [...]
The last video I featured was “Ant Music” which came from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier, a huge hit in the U.K. For this next Adam Ant experience, we’ll go to the next album, which was Prince Charming. You’ll get to see and hear “Stand and Deliver” and he will be dressed like [...]
