I got my snow tires today, finally. It meant spending a good two hours in the seventh circle of hell that is Wal-Mart, but holy crap it's done. Just in time to drive two and a half hours to Kitchener on Tuesday night for the Finger Eleven concert.
I also auditioned today for a local production of The Vagina Monologues that's being put on for our local women's shelter. I think I did pretty good, and it was fun trying out. I got to say fuck, cunt and vagina a whole lot. I think my chances of getting even a small part are pretty good.
I was listening to our local station's classic rock Saturday night and I'm reminded once again of the under-rated talent of the Animals and of the equally under-rated hotness of the young Eric Burdon. In my very honest opinion he should have easily taken Mick Jagger in a battle of British Invasion hotness. Jagger looks like a troll.

This video embodies every terrible 80's cliche imaginable, while having the added panache of being a CANADIAN 80s rock video. Can-rock in the 80's was a very special kind of terrible. Like Enid says in Ghost World "This is so bad it's gone beyond cool and back to bad again."
"Hotter than Mick Jagger" is not a particularly high bar. Dude is the classic "I'm a musician because if I wasn't a musician I'd be sitting at home on Saturday night on the Internet complaining that women only like jerks."
ReplyDelete(They had Internet in the sixties, right?)
precisely why I'm surprised Burdon doesn't get more recognition.
ReplyDeleteWomen in the sixties had weird taste in rock stars.
Have fun at the concert ; )
