Ooops, We Did It Again!
Jewelchickenhamsandwich.
The editors wanted to relay their enthusiastic approval of last week's "Hit Me Baby One More Time" show. We loved it! First, these were all happy stories -- no fame-to-drugs-to-rock-bottom-to-"now back and better than ever!"-VH1 crapola here. These are folks who were smart enough not to blow through all their $$$ back in the 80's and early 90's and now can live semi-comfortably without needing to do much work. We especially liked the Flock of Seagulls dude, who took his money to buy a small house on a Florida river so he could spend the rest of his life with his wife boating. And we loved the over-the-top-mop-topped British host. And all the bands sounded good and cracked self-mocking jokes. But we were particularly impressed with Arrested Development. They still have the old dude! They did an amazing cover of "How Far Is Heaven" -- keeping the basic tune but totally reworking it to make it their own. And the audience, to our amazement, voted them best! And they chose a Darfur relief fund for their charity!
Thus, we decided to get Monz' feedback on the featured bands.
MYL: "Hey Monz, did you see 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'?
M: "Afraid not."
MYL: "Oh, well, what do you think of Tiffany?"
M: "Uhewlllll!"
MYL: "A Flock of Seaguls?"
M: "Heh heh heh."
MYL: "What does that mean?"
M: "You know, you were there! It means 'heh heh heh."
MYL: "Arrested Development?"
M: "Uhewlllll!"
MYL: "Loverboy?"
M: "Heh heh heh."
MYL: "Ce Ce Penniston?"
M:" "Who?"
