Well folks, I'm happy to announce, my first ever Rock Band night was a success! A few cancellations here and there (to be honest, some were expected!), lots of fun, laughter, drinking and most important - lots of rocking...and a fantastic night was had by all ;-)
As I sit here typing to you, my wet hair is held up by a clip, i'm drinking fat Cola from a can, i'm munching my way through a HUGE bag of Bacon Tasty's (Bacon Flavoured Wheat Snacks) and the second half of Cadbury's Milk Tray whilst watching Paint Your Wagon on Sky Classics! If there is anyone who hasn't seen this movie then you are sorely missing out. The first time I ever seen Paint Your Wagon was about two years ago when my aunty Mary, my big cousin Kris and his girlfriend Fiona and I all got together one Saturday for a Western Musicals Day. We started with Paint your Wagon first as no-one had seen it, and to be honest, no-one was particularly looking forward to it...we couldn't have been more wrong. It was the highlight of the day! (A huge compliment as other movies that were watched that day were the classics; Seven Brides For Seven Brothers and Calamity Jane). It's amazing to see Clint Eastwood in his cowboy gear and not be intimidating in the slightest. Then you have Lee Marvin, who I think hits the lowest note in the history of music when he 'belts out' Wandering Star. The music, the story and all of the characters just make Paint Your Wagon a genuinely enjoyable movie. It's totally worth watching at least once in your life. Clint sings for goodness sake!
Also want to take this time to wish a very Happy Birthday to the legend that is, Mr Ringo Starr! This time 2 years ago I was in New York City at the Hard Rock Cafe standing directly behind Ringo in a huge crowd of other Beatle fans wishing him all the best for his 70th birthday. What a great day that was. I have been a fan of The Beatles since I was 8 years old. I never thought in my lifetime that I would ever see/meet/get close to any of The Beatles, and there I was. 22 years old and standing behind the drummer of my all time favourite band on such a special occasion. It was magic.
Well tonight for me is another Rock Band night. Not me hosting I might add, just attending. A lot of singing, drinking, eating and rocking out again for me. By Sunday morning I will have no voice at all. Well i'm off to dry and straighten my wet hair. Have a good weekend folks.
Peace and Love
