Rod Stewart, May 12th in Amsterdam

May 24, 2019 13:04

Some things never change, and gigging remains one of my favourite pastimes. In recent years, I've had the opportunity to see many bands and artists -- some domestic, some foreign; some well-known, some not so; and earlier this month, accompanied by my sister, I went to see Sir Roderick Stewart in concert ( Read more... )

He's not looking bad for an old dude.

74 now -- no spring chicken, but still the charmer ;-)!

How fun! Looks like a great time.

I've got a few other shows lined up (Chic, Tears for Fears, Stray Cats, among others), but already I think this one will take some beating.

Oh, what fun! He's doing a Freddy Mercury with his mic stand.

How ARE you? How are the cats?

Ha! That reminds me, I should probably upload my Queen pics to my Scrapbook here, to keep them in a safe place.

How ARE you? How are the cats?

The cats...well, I was going to say they're fine, but considering Manasse has been overgrooming since having had dental surgery back in October, that wouldn't be entirely true. The vet believes he's developed an allergy to dust, but none of the remedies she's tried so far have had any effect; and he looks an utter fright, with hardly any hair left on his chest, belly and all four of his legs.

As for me, I could be better myself. I lost my job (also in Oct) and spent the last few months of 2018 partying; then suffered a double pulmonary embolism in January just when my thoughts turned to finding a new job. Procrastination followed, and 4 months on, I may be feeling better but I'm still unemployed.

More importantly, though: how are YOU?

I would love Love LOVE to see any Queen pics you have. I am a huge fan, even more so since Bohemian Rhapsody.

Oh, poor Manasse! That can't be pleasant, for either of you. Hope he calms down and quits the overgrooming, stat.

As for you, missy, I hope that satisfying employment turns up, and your health improves. I had to Google double pulmonary embolism, and you could have DIED. My God, please get well and stay well. How scary! For your friends as well as YOU.

So they tell me. I still only half believe them. Anyway, I didn't, so it's all good.

I would love Love LOVE to see any Queen pics you have. I am a huge fan, even more so since Bohemian Rhapsody.It'll take me a while to upload them -- I had a really good spot last time I saw them (can it have been a year ago already?), as opposed to the year before, and kind of went mad with the picture-taking ( ... )
