(Can't remember exactly who they were, either, hey, I'm an aging HIPPY woman, ok)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, they got up on stage and they gave a KICK-ASS performance, with their Voices as good, or maybe even better, than when they were young, in their Prime. And the Audience gave them a big positive response, really liked their performance.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame when GUYS who are Rockers can keep on playing and singing, having Concerts, etc., when they're old like KEITH RICHARDS and look like HELL, while if they were WOMEN, they'd be held to a much more critical standard!<BR/><BR/>I wish myself that JANIS JOPLIN were still with us, and MAMA CASS, and JIM MORRISON -- all the great ones who died way too young, and left the world poorer for it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-71833983545794048812008-06-29T16:11:00.000-04:002008-06-29T16:11:00.000-04:00Well, Deb and I were feuding for a bit, we've patc...Well, Deb and I were feuding for a bit, we've patched things up now.Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-4543088561622872552008-06-23T17:39:00.000-04:002008-06-23T17:39:00.000-04:00I gotta clean my glasses.
