Miss Understood: Let's rock baby. haha I rememeber seeing you in the Wigstock movie and saying to my roomate, "ahhhhh check her out i love her!" LOL As for LA, i do agree with you to a large point. I lived there for a year and a half before moving to Maui and had residence on the corner of Hollywood Blvd/Formosa, right down by Manns.

ahhhh no Toyah!! LOL As for Girlschool, i actually know them personally quite well..they just released a brand new CD called "21st Anniversary: Not That Innocent" with the four original band members (though two songs are with the new guitarist Jackie Chambers). They are still going strong believe it or not! I run their Official Website (though it's down right now until i get some more time to work on it).. The new album KICK ASS though! They still know how to rock, even into their 40s.

I have GREAT admiration for Joe Stummer (and Mick Jones) they truly made their mark on music and society today.... at a time when music was less 'controlled', less contrived, less manufactured, BS - meaning Before Sylists!

Re: Nightclub Disasters
It will be interesting to see what happens because of these two tragic events. I hope the outcome is not more security in the clubs, I don't think that will help. Also, I don't think they should have rock theatrics in such a small place, leave that for the arena and stadium tours.

Re: DAVID BOWIE
I enjoy Bowie's music a lot, but was more influenced by him as a 70s fashion icon than anything else. His brand of androgynous drag, over-the-top glam chic and ambiguous sexuality was one of the things that led me into the club world to begin with. His chic even translated to his film appearances like "The Hunger". So hot. Also, everyone loves to put down his 80s top-40 commercial pop stint, but personally I loved that period of his career as much as the rest of it. I would just as soon rock...

Re: DAVID BOWIE
Sure, the Let's Dance period wasn't really so bad as some protest. And if he'd have sufficiently moved on from there into a less pop direction so uch the better. But to go even more mainstream was unexpected, and even he, himself has lamented this period as his nadir. I do like a few songs from "Let's Dance" 's follow-up, "Tonight", but on the whole it fails to capture me. Sadly, that Glass Spider Never Let Me Down thing that came on the heels of it was utterly embarassing. He *had* to do...

Now they look like tired old buffalos next to the handful of mavericks like Mayor Newsome, Mayor Daley and New Paltz, New York's mayor, Jason West, who boldly go where no one has gone before.

Thank you Chi Chi and Bobby, it was my pleasure to share that. That's so true Anna. This show was so much better than those big productions of the past. It was just Bowie and his band pulling it all off song by song. Between songs he was so funny and present with everyone. He reminded me of a Rock 'n Roll Richard Dawson in his humorous manner with everyone. And yes, he does look HOT!!!! He still has such sexy moves too, such grace and style.
