hey kids
had a wild night of true
nostalgia
i went out to red bank new jersey to see the blondie
30th anniversary concert
at the count basie theatre
and hooked up with fantastic pals i hung out with oh 28 years ago!
i had seen deborah harry sans blondie due a short stint at a cindy lauper concert a year ago
and debbie was sorta low energy socker momish
but not this night
united with chris stein, some new blondies
and the original drummer (forgot his name? mike r if you are reading this, you will know)
playing mostly her greatest hits
plus a few newbies
debbie
was rock on
blondie was rock on
but honey it was so funny to shake it up with audience filled with white hair
the devine annie my pal was a 16 year old again
shaking it up and ran up to the stage where she caught a high five by debbie
it was grand grand gran
dears
it was just a nostalgic day
i went into jacks music store , the last time i was there
i was in the back buying bootleg punk rock 45's in brown paper sleeves
the sex pistols god save the queen i bought at jacks
this time no brown paper ..i bought a grace jones cd
oh how i used to love grace jones
still do
went to the kevin smith comic store
checked out elsies submarine sandwiches from my childhood
mom and i always shared the tuna fish sub
when we went to the arts center to watch the symphony rehearse
no wednesday afternoons
went by
mr pizza slice where we'd down slices and cokes to counteract
the bad home-grown we'd toked when i was in high school
just great
honey i have to say
looked up at debbie harry
who is what 58?
and gorgeous, sexy
and still rocking
i have to say
life really is
what you make of it
live every single day of your life
dont postpone joy
dont ever say you're too old to do something you love
just rock this life
rock it honey's
