So, I am watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night. I should have been in bed. Don't usually watch Jay because I am a huge Dave fan. But, the Blue Color comics were on last night and as much as I hate to admit it, I think they are pretty funny. My favorite, Ron White, was strangely absent. But, I digress.
I was reading my Oprah magazine, not really paying attention, when THIS comes on.
He was singing a familiar song called "Jump" but it was not at all the same. He was surrounded by a half circle of country musicians playing stringed instruments. He was prancing around the stage like a ...well like a queen.
This is David Lee Roth. Or shall I say, this used to be David Lee Roth. He was the cool lead singer of the '80s rock band Van Halen. This is the man who gave us Hot For Teacher and I'm Just a Gigolo. He used to strut on stage with he spandex pants, crazy costumes and long flowing hair - hey wait a minute. He just did that because his was rock star, right?
He has just released a new CD called Runnin' with the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen. Not only has this man completely come out of the closet, he has destroyed some sacred Van Halen tunes. Don't believe me, go here http://movies.aol.com/celebrity/david-lee-roth/61747/main?sem=1&ncid=AOLMOV00170000000009 and check out Jamie's Cryin.
Now listen, if you know me, you know that I don't care at all about someone's sexual orientation. But this was just so shocking! I had to run and the bedroom and wake Gary to watch it. Then I laughed unitl my cheeks hurt watching the look on Gary's face.
I expected to hear all about this on the radio today, but I have heard nothing. I guess it was just old news and I was the last one to know.
In other news, I am moving stuff back into my scrapbook room. I thought painting would take forever, but I was so wrong. This organizing thing is taking forever. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to organize. I love the thought of "a place for everything." But, I don't have a place for everything. I am having to make hard decisions and wishing I had more room. Oh well, whine - whine. I'll post picts when I am done.
I know. I know. I still need a new header and I have posted the beach weekend photos. Soon I hope. I am leaving for NYC with my Mom and Ann on Friday. I'll be back on Monday. Then I will be even further behind.
Until later.
