Leaves
Just want you to see my leaves. This is what we did for a few hours today. This is round one of just the front yard.
Duran Duran Show
So on Friday I went to see Duran Duran at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. Lisa and I were wandering around the casino floor so she could smoke. The House of Blue is upstairs so we were heading upstairs. I stepped onto the escalator and saw, coming down the other side, John Taylor and Nick Rhose, I turned around to look at Lisa and then I looked back at them. I was in total shock! Lisa then yells at me for not getting off the escalator when I still had the chance! So I yelled back at her for not pulling me off when I couldn't think straight while staring at John Taylor. There wasn't actual yelling, of course. We got to the top and went right back down but it's a long escalator and I know John knew I recognized him so they were long gone when we got back down there. When we were about halfway up I saw Nick look behind him, seemed like he was checking to see if anyone was back there. I don't know how they walked past all the people we saw standing upstairs. The only reason to be up there is going to the show, and none of them seemed like John and Nick had just walked by. The whole thing was sorta weird.
Hard to believe that two adult women with children are still rendered speechless at the sight of pop stars. Completely ridiculous I admit.
I thought the show was great but the crowd was really strange. There was some guy behind Lisa and I that was complaining about stuff before the show even started. The show was supposed to start at 9, there were road crew on the stage messing with stuff and he was pitching a fit. Like Duran ever comes on before 9:30. Whatever. Then he was complaining about the sound. Between every song we could hear him bitching about something. Beth came to get us when the poor decision to perform House of the Rising Sun was made. I don't get that choice but whatever.
The crowd in the area where everyone else was was no better than the original location where Lisa and I were. A bunch of drunk women who clearly don't get out much. Neither do Lisa and I but Lisa no longer drinks and I can hold my liquor way better than they can-not that I was drinking either! There was some guy who Lisa said smelled real bad-I didn't get close enough after she said that. But he was ramming his tongue down some chick's throat and the whole thing was really gross.
Anyway, they played My Own Way which was really cool! Heather made a comment that there was really no talking about our favorite parts and all after the show. Which is just another part of the strangeness. So I'll do that now. Since the only person who reads this was there and is who I would have been talking about it with anyway! Hi Beth. ;-> What else was cool, Hold Back the Rain, but since they did that the whole last tour, I am sort of over that being really cool, it's cool because it's a good song, but no longer like "Wow they're playing Hold Back the Rain." I thought Some Like it Hot was really awesome. The Internet makes it possible to ruin any surprises whatsoever and I had looked up set lists so I wasn't surprised by hearing those songs. But it was still really cool. I think since there is a fill in guitar player (since 'someone' left again) makes it less likely that there will be changes in the set list from one show to the next.
I didn't really like the changes to Serious, but it was a cool song. Electric Barbarella was a lot of fun. The end of the show could stand to be mixed up a little. Girls on Film and Rio...yeah, we know. And I realized on Saturday that they didn't do Careless Memories, first time ever I didn't hear them do that. My favorite song.
Hopefully the new album will come out soon and we can all go see them again. Heather said it was a weird show and she was really distracted, I agree with that. She wants a 'do over'. I do too, but more because I like going to see them! Maybe one day I will actually see John and say hello instead of just staring at him like I am an idiot!
