Mick Jagger will be 69 years old this summer. Really, I can hardly believe it. Mick and the Rolling Stones have been around for 50 years. 50 YEARS! It makes me feel proud that the musicians that I listened to in high school are still rocking and rolling. I’ve never considered Mick a handsome man [...]
Howard Stern is one of the icons of my generation. He can be horribly rude, disrespectful, and sexist toward women when it suits him for ratings as part of a show. But! He is also incredibly talented and a genius among men. Yeah, I’m a Howard Stern fan… as long as he’s not doing the [...]
I like wedding dresses. I was one of the millions who watched Duchess Catherine of Cambridge exit the car at the church, waiting eagerly to see her wedding dress. For that matter, I was one of the thousands waiting to see Princess Diana’s wedding dress 30 years ago. Both were spectacular, by the way. Both [...]
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 [...]
