1983 called, they want their

1983 called, they want their music back!

I just got back from seeing Def Leppard in concert. No, I didn't ride in my time machine, those old dudes are still rockin!
I was pleasantly surprised at the amazing show these guys put on. I was not pleasantly surprised at the old people at the show, however.
It was almost as if these people came in their own time machines straight from the 80's.
My favorite was Leather Tuscadero, a 40-something woman in a black leather pair of shorts and matching halter top. It wasn't that the shorts were too short but her ass was too saggy, it just hung out from beneath her shorts...ICK! It was sorta like a train wreck, I couldn't NOT look!

Anyway, back to the music. These guys are still so cool. I remember my best friend and I making up a dance to Photograph when we were in ELEMENTARY school! OMG That's a LONG time ago....now 20 some odd years later, they are still "setting this town alight". Phil Collen is still shirtless and rockin it along with one-armed wonder, Rick Allen, Rick Savage and guitar legend Vivien Campbell.
In the middle of the show I actually started to miss my AquaNet and hot rollers.

Next week is Old Fucker Fest. Journey, Styx, Survivor, REO Speedwagon will all be shuffling onto the stage to regale us with those songs of yesteryear that make me smile to hear them to this day like Anyway You Want It, Don't Stop Believing, Come Sail Away and I Can't Fight This Feeling.

Father Ralph is gay? No f-ing shit.
Was anyone else surprised about this? Does anyone care? Who gives a shit that he's gay? He was still hot as Father Ralph in the Thornbirds and even if I knew or cared back in the day, I would still think he was hot.
By the way, I reread The Thornbirds recently and cried for an hour at the end. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't read it so just look away now...
I have to know....WHY COULDN'T MEGGIE AND RALPH HAVE HAD JUST A LITTLE TIME TOGETHER BEFORE HE DIED???? Would it have killed Colleen McCollough to give them some happiness for a little while? *sigh*
Sometimes I forget it's fiction. ;)
