So I missed my chance to see "40 years ago today" a very special Beatles tribute at the Texas Station; featuring Todd Rundgren (Bang on my drums all day, Hllo, its me), Lou Graham (Cold as Ice and other Foreginer songs) and finally, american Idol contestant, Bo Bice.
Wow. At only 32.00 a pop, I could have heard these three warblew their way through some of my favorite songs. Too bad I had to wash the dog last night.
On that note, Billy Idol is coming to town, and I know a certain person in Virginia who would be jealous if I went...."Don't talk to Billy Idol like that".
I DID watch Accross the Universe finally and it is freaking AWESOME! A backstory to this is that one of my all time favorite movies, mostly due to the magic of the music and show when I was a child, is Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band. If you haven't seen it, basically there is no dialogue, it is just the story of an up and coming band versus en evil empire, told by Beatles songs (picture the greedy Dougy Shears rolling around in stacks of money singing "you never give me your money", or the hero walking down the road antagonizing singing "The Long and Winding Road), kind of schtick, but great!!!
Well, Accross the Universe is BASICALLY the same show with a touch more dialogue and the story is about love, and war and peace and change and love, because love hurts, love bites, love is a many splendored thing and when it comes down to it, all you need is love. Amen brohter, ending on that note.

My best gal pal, Lana says "Across the Universe" is the best movie ever and refers (VERY dramatically - you know Lana) to it as "our coming of age". Anyway I promised her I wouldn't see it until I saw it with her, so I actually bought the DVD and still haven't watched it! I'm gonna have to get her cornered so we can watch it then, I'll give you my review - sorry you missed the "fab faux" as it were... you have great options for good music and shows. One of these visits I'm going to go see the LOVE show, with the Beatles tunes.... maybe we could do it together?
