TeenyBopper Tears

The other day, I'd mentioned David Cassidy and Davy Jones were to appear in concert about 15 miles from my house. I really beat myself up I didn't spend the 82 bucks and change to go see them. After all, Davy Jones is still cute, even if he's over 60.

I pictured women, like myself, who wondered what color to cover their gray hair, but then were transported back to those great bubblegum pop days, where tomorrow's history test was the biggest trauma, plus you had to actually talk to your BFF--since texting and cell phones hadn't been invented heck. Heck, I remembered carrying a dime around for the pay phone. Anyway, I was pretty mad at myself for not going.

Then I read the concert's
review. And I'm not so mad at myself anymore.

Oh well. I still have a sweet Bubble Yum kinda memory.

Shudders, respectfully, as he ponders what such a concert might be like.

I loved this! What fun and how true. I will read the review you put here for us.
In my opinion about the only group that still sounds decent at their ages is the Rolling Stones and the Eagles.

As time wore on, I thought David was kinda into himself--yet, I thought he was still cute. He's an Aries, I'm an Aries, but still disappointed in this review. Davy Jones, I think remembers and enjoys where he comes from...

Check out YouTube for more concert clips of David's. You'll see that they all look alike - he's been doing the same concert and flubbing the same songs for three years now. Cherish your albums ;-) And I say this as a DC fan who "re-discovered" him a few months ago (and found your post via Google Alerts).

Are you familiar with his mid-seventies solo stuff? Worth checking out. Practically all his discography is uploaded on YT, set to pics of him in his heyday. He really was drool-worthy!

That makes me sad about David and the concert stuff. It's one thing to not rehearse, yet I'd think you'd wanna do a good show for the folks that have been with you every step of the way. I'll need to go back to YT. I've posted Summer Nights on one of my posts--Drool Worthy, once upon a time...sigh*

Just checked out that "Summer Days" post. He certainly looked good in that clip. Were you surprised "Ruby" was canceled?

LL aka Lisa-Lin said...

I didn't know "Ruby" was cancelled until you told me--however, I'm not surprised! :) I watched it--and thought--well, Patrick is cute..... :)

That pretty much summed up my thoughts too. ;-)

The Holidays are pretty much right here. Yep.  Especially since three Christmas movies, in the last three days, between Lifetime and Ha...
