Round and Round

A bit of nostalgia came flooding back into my life this past weekend...

Now some of you know me as a rap and hip-hop fan....but thats not where my roots are. Yes folks, your looking at a product of the '80's...and though I have a strong background and appreciation for the urban flava from my prior DJ'ing experience....I grew up on Hair Bands.

I shock...I know...and please don't hold it against me. The influence stems from my siblings...my sister...who's friends used to come over to our house in full KISS makeup and entertain me for hours before they headed out on the weekend...to my brother and his extensive AC/DC additiction in his teenage years. Yes the only musical direction I knew was being funneled towards an inevitable conclusion....I am a Def Leppard fan. That and my penchant` for singing The Pina Colada song at Karaoke....Thank's Mom.....

Lucky for me I had a partner on this Def Leppard ride to oblivion...my sister....she was right there with me...like two heroin addicts lookin to juice up again, we would put in Hysteria (which by the way I went through 3 cassettes before CD's were popular) and enjoyed all the tracks on side's one and two. Women...Excitable...Animal...Rocket...and yes the classic, Pour Some Sugar on Me. These songs of my youth pull me back to days tooling around Olympic High with my Walkman..burning holes in my ear drums to Rick Allen's one armed beats and "Steamin" Steve Clark's guitar riffs....Hell...I even had a pair of Joe Elliot's ripped up pants...



Scary...huh...

So this last Friday, I went to the Fenix Underground at the behest of a group of friends to see a cover band known as the Metal Boyz (notice the "z" its the hooker). To my intoxicated suprise, it was a great time and made me wish I had my sister there to share in the Aquanet hair spray experience. So for my sister...and any of you closet mullet heads out there...enjoy...





Now I know what your thinking...Jesus..your a shitty photographer...no, its not my camera phone...I just wanted you to experience my intoxication level of the night as well. At this point..it didnt matter if I had Lasix surgery or not. God bless Jaeger. I was thouroughly down with these boyz too..up until the lead singer took off his wig...then I wanted to go and beat him senseless. I dont know why I cared so much..half of the guys that were in 80's hair bands are bald and have a plastic hip now. C'est la vie.
