Its hard to believe he would be 65 today... did you see the google bar today?
I can still remember the first time I saw and heard him, at my friends house at about midnight when the Midnight Special would come on, I think I was 12, and the next day we ran to our "Record" shop and bought Killer Queen! It was around the same time I first heard Bowie and fell in love...
Some times when I hear the music I picture my 13 year old self...what a journey.
My friend from work is living her dream. She auditioned for a role in the stage production of HAIR in San Jose. AND she got it! This is amazing! All of her life she has wanted to sing and dance and she is living out loud with her dreams in hand!
It is hard for a woman in 40s to get into this so late in life, but when you are open, bubbly and a happy person the doors can open! AND open wide they did! And she was so brave with the nude scene...here she is on stage with people in their 20s and she stood there brave and bold holding her own quite nicely!
I took one of my best friends, Fanabella, to the play and we SO enjoyed it! I cannot believe it is FORTY years ago that I first saw the play! Until I sat there as an adult verses a small child watching what was happening! I had forgotten or had never "got" that it was so political AND SO meaningful for today as well!
It is like flash forward FORTY fucking years and we are in the SAME FUCKING PLACE! We have another war that is not declared a war and our men and add to it our women dieing in a foreign land for what? I fail to understand it. And as the actors dressed as hippies screamed out Hell no we won't go the late 60s and early 70s rushed back in the memory of my muscles and spirit.
AND the songs...I have to look as an adult now and wonder what the hell adults thought of me singing that entire album when I was 6...some of those songs are so offensive! In fact I sat there in the front row just amazed at the words in some of the songs...like Colored Spade....yikes I hate those words and they are so offensive...I understand why they are there in the play but I just don't like it and found it repulsive.
The seating I got was a table...I didn't know what that meant...well it was the FRONT row! If you know me, you know I don't like being in the front row of anything THAT is where they pick on you...and we got UP CLOSE with the actors and at the end a rather good looking kid wanted me to get up and dance...oh I would have if I felt better! But no I just wanted to blend into the wall! LOL
You have to go here and click on Evanescence Sweet Sacrifice video! LOVE it! I wish I could find the video on iTunes! Just downloaded the CD onto my iPod! Listening to it right now...LOVE it!
