        • Hope everyone has a lovely week, those of you with unwell loved ones, stay safe and be kind to one another...xx

          Ugh Sharkies next week..wonder if they'll go down the same route as their number one fan did last night? One can only hope...

          Ok the great man has spoken as below so I must go and prepare for the working week. Even working from home, there is still prep to do. I'll come back another time..

            That Instagram video I sent you of Kate with her daughter is amazing..I cannot spot the difference between the two of them. I really have not seen a mother and daughter resemble each other so much.
            One my nieces is married to one of JPY's relatives..she's met him at weddings...the families didn't join until years after my niece married her husband so we didn't have the pleasure of his company or talents at her wedding as she got married in 1997. I forgot about all the leagues club shows Mum & my aunty took me to. Mostly at Parra or Canterbury-Hurlstone Park like you. Marcia must be in there somewhere..Oh JPY came to Warwick..I have photos..and also we drove down to Toowoomba on a Sunday night to see Katrina and the Waves..she can rock a guitar just like Joan Jett or Suzi Q..not just little miss Walking On Sunshine..I have excellent photos of those gigs too..will show you one day..they are in an album on top of the wardrobe..
            Jenny Morris was a real treat, virtually had the whole venue to our selves , have seen Jenny also in a free concert in Victoria Park and she also performed the New Zealand National Anthem at the 2002 Grand Final.
            Yes Gypsy does really look like her mother.

            Forgot i saw Bjorn Again at the Enmore Theatre but i cannot put them into the upper echelon of some of the performers i mentioned lol.

            I haven't mentioned some of the performances i have seen at the football but will mention Daryl Braithwaite twice at our winning Grand Finals.

            • This song always takes me to a happy place and it sums me up right now..Happy to dance and be free . I've been dreaming all week about my mother and she used to love Tina. The song lyrics mention mother so I think my own mother would approve of this one:

              Favourite part of the lyrics:

              So good
              Be free
              Can dance and laugh and just be me
              So good
              Be free
              The clouds above have disappeared



              So I hope this finds you well
              Sun is shining down eastern valley ways
              There's some news I need to tell you
              Give my Mother a kiss
              Tell her I'm ok
              I recall her words
              "If it's too easy
              It never lasts
              I have compromised
              But I'm finally free of the past
              Now I can dance
              Clouds have all disappeared
              Freedom
              I hold so dear
              'Cause nobody knows me here
              Though I can only imagine the sadness
              In your eyes
              Please understand
              Now I can dance
              All alone the other night
              I came to realise we'd be friends for life
              It was always meant to be
              For some people the heavens can get it so right
              Like an angel you see
              You have graciously offered a hand
              You'd be so proud of me
              Now I'm finally taking a stand
              Now I can dance
              Clouds have all disappeared
              Freedom
              I hope so dear
              Cause nobody knows me here
              Though I can only imagine the sadness
              In your eyes
              Please understand
              Now I can dance
              Now I can dance
              Now I can dance
              Clouds have all disappeared
              Freedom
              I hope so dear
              'Cause nobody knows me here
              Though I can only imagine the sadness
              In you eyes
              Please understand
              Now I can dance
              Though I can only imagine the sadness
              In your eyes
              Please understand
              Now I can dance
              So I hope this finds you well
              Sun is shining down eastern valley ways
              So good
              Be free
              Can dance and laugh and just be me
              So good
              Be free
              The clouds above have disappeared

                Wow, I didn't think it was that old..................a bit like the SFS I guess.

                btw......you deserve a medal for sitting through a Minogue gig

                  Yeah it was a great night.
                  Pretty rare I went to a big concert...............I was more into the pub band scene. For me , seeing H & C at the tivoli was a big venue.

                  But talk about being impressed.................that post you made after going through your ticket stubs...........what an effort, that must've taken forever!

                    Sad song from Iggy. Another one that reminds me of staying up late to watch Rage:

                    Wasn't rage the show that had an Iggy song as the theme?

                    My favourite.......

                      Iggy's version of Wild One is used for Rage... Lust for Life is the one you posted....it was a jingle for a beer commercial too..

                      I had his Blah Blah Blah cassette years ago.

                        H & C were featured last week on that Diesel program on the ABC for their Under One Roof concert at Selina's at Coogee. I used to have the CD but there was too much drunken swearing for my liking so I got rid of it..the downside of listening to a live performance.

                        Oh and thank you..I do like to keep an orderly inventory...LOL..

                            I have about a dozen Hunters cds.........boxed somewhere.
                            Another rather large gig I remember was Neil Young at the Horden Pavilion. Don't date me on that, I was under-age at the time...............but it didn't stop me getting " room stoned ", lol.

                              The joys of being a non-drinker...LOL...some on here seem to resent my superior memory..but that's only because I know where they buried the metaphorical bodies..and I know when they are telling me porkies and trying to string me along with fibs..the joys of being an Empath. We have our own inbuilt lie detectors.

                              I just got this message from my work mates as they are in the office and I am at home: "You are such a positive soul! The world needs more of you. We love that..We can see the drive and focus in you...". They have me cataloguing/archiving/records management..so I did the same with my ticket stubs....seriously though, they are not just ticket stubs..its a box full of memories of wonderful friends and family, some of whom are no longer on this earth, so it's very important to be kind to each other whilst we are all still around..life is too short to be angry, stubborn and negative. It costs nothing to reach out to someone and apologise if need be. Real friends won't mind and will always be open to listening and accepting. I think more of people who genuinely apologise to others, rather than continue a charade of keeping up a facade that I can see straight through anyway. Such a waste of time and energy. Elton John and Bernie Taupin sure knew what they were saying when they did this one:
