So Fabulous

I have had a pretty eventful weekend. The biggest thing that happened was that I went to see THE PET SHOP BOYS!!! It was awesome. I had the best time ever! Even when the queens behind me whouldn't shut up for most of the second half of the show. I discovered last night that the most entertaining thing in the world is ripped guys in sleeveless, skin tight, gold lame cowboy outfits doing the electric slide during "Where the Streets Have No Name." (At least that's what I think the dance is called. I'm not with it on the line dancing.) And I really liked it when everyone was gathered in one spot on the stage and if you looked out over the crowd, you could see a sea of cell phones flipped open and being held aloft, presumably to take pictures. But I don't have much time left, so I'll show you what I took away from the concert:

Wait, you were on the stage? They covered Where the streets have no name and guys did the electric slide to it? That's really wierd. I'm glad you had fun and it was a good show. :)

Oh I see. I was trying to figure out why you thought I was on the stage. No, what I meant was that the singer and all the back-up singers were gathered in one spot.

Yes, they covered Where the Streets Have No Name many many years ago as well as last night. I have the CD if you ever want to hear it. They also did a cover of You Were Always On My Mind, both last night and many years ago. :) I think all the rest is their own. I'm sure Shemsi can set me straight if that's not true.

Are you calling me some kind of nerd or something?

But umm. . . yeah, well, Go West is a Village People song. And Numb was written by Diane Warren and originally offered to Aerosmith (she wrote that Armageddon song). Aerosmith didn't want the song, and the Pet Shop Boys are the first ones to record it (as far as I know) so it's not really a cover; it's an Aerosmith reject. Isn't that sad?

I'm not a hypocrite! I get tired of reading my own blod over and over, and that's why I want other people to post. :)
