Let's Spend the Night Together

Yeah, the title should be interesting. This name applies to the name of a very early Rolling Stones song and it also applies to a movie made in the 1980s about their 1981-1982 North American tour. This movie was made by Hal Ashby and it is basically the concert they did at the Sun Devil Stadium in Phoenix on December 13, 1981.

If I have 2 constantly keep fixing the stupid pictures on here, I'm going to go out of my mind!

Shine a Light

This name applies to yet another Stones song and a movie of the same name, which chronicled the tour they did in 2006, at the Beacon Theater in New York on October 29 and November 1. Their 2006 tour was titled their A Bigger Bang tour, and during the making of the album of the same name, the band endured alot of trouble, like for starters, Mick Jagger and his then wife Jerry Hall broke up, it was supposed to be a quiet divorce but somehow got made public, Ronnie's first wife Krissy Findlay committed suicide, Charlie was diagnosed with throat cancer, basically alot of trouble.

This movie features interviews with the guys in the band, from different times, like from the mid 80s when Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were acting like big babies and arguing over what type of music the Stones should be doing. What initially caused this fight was the type of music they thought they should be doing, Mick wanted to keep it experimental and always try new things and blend different types of music in with their music, Keith wanted to keep it old school blues rock, R&B, jazz-like stuff they've been doing since the beginning, and that's what caused Mick to fly solo and release a few solo albums, like Goddess in the Doorway, Wandering Spirit, The Very Best of Mick Jagger, She's the Boss, and Primitive Cool.  And man is he hot in some of those pictures, especially the shirt less one on Wandering Spirit. 4 being 67, he sure does have a body that's too gorgeous, lol! These 2 probably still fight from time to time, but probably not as much as they did in the mid 80s.

And as for Keith, he released a few solo albums of his own, like Talk Is Cheap, Vintage Vinos, Main Offender. This film was dedicated to their then manager, Ahmet Ertegun, who'd been with them since the beginning. He was backstage and somehow he'd fallen and struck his head on a concrete step. He was rushed to the hospital and died there. 

It was originally supposed to be October 31 when the concert was to happen, and they were supposed to play at Atlantic City, New Jersey, but front man Mick Jagger had gotten sick with throat problems and they had to push it back to November 1, and were unable to play Atlantic City until he got better.

Christina Aguilera and Mick Jagger performing Live With Me

I'm starting to think I'll never be able to see these guys play live, so who am I kidding? I don't have a chance on Earth of ever seeing these guys live or much less meeting them in person, so I might as well just dismiss any hope of seeing these guys live!

Summertime!

Since I know summer is fast approaching, I thought I'd do a blog based on some of the stuff I like to do during the summer.


Go to the beach, although I haven't been to the beach since I was 10 and that was to this crappy beach in Florida called Coco Beach, sure wasn't fun for me! I got sunburn and windburn, how'd I manage that one? This was when the economy was better!

   

Eat popsicles/ice cream
   
Running from school,  screaming "FREEDOM"

Dream jobs

Oh yeah! Dream Jobs! I know everyone out there in the blogosphere has that dream job that they dream of landing! For me, dream jobs consist of:

1. Tattoo Artist
2. Writer
3. Bartender
4. Jewelry Maker
5. Dancer
6. CD Cover Designer
7. Graphic Designer
8. World Traveler
9. Photographer
10. Teacher
11. Artist
12. Business owner

Those are just some of the dream jobs I have. It doesn't go in any certain order or anything, just listing ones I like. Tattoo Artist would be a cool job because if you really think about it, tattoos almost tell a story. A writer, definitely cool. I'm creative in that sense, I love to write short stories, I've never published them or anything, I usually just write short stories because they're fun and I guess I have an overactive imagination, which for the field I'm in definitely is not bad. Bartender would be cool because you can entertain while serving patrons really awesome drinks. Photography has always been an avid fascination of mine, so if I couldn't find a job as a Graphic Designer, Photography, baby! I love taking picures, I'm a massive picture hoarder basically, I have a lot of pictures of family that I love putting in scrapbooks and stuff. Traveling allows you to explore the vast lands of our world and explore rich, indulgent cultures, and explore new lands. And if I were to open a business, it would be a retro/vintage store, the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s are making a comeback and they are finding a new generation with the younger crowds. Younger people nowadays are beginning to discover bands like The Grateful Dead, Aerosmith, The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, etc. Younger people are beginning to discover the treasures of the 1960s, 70s, 80s, etc, at least I call them treasures, not sure what everyone else may call them. But I'm kind of a dreamer I guess, and there is alot of stuff I"d looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove to do in this short little lifetime of mine, I mean, no one lives forever, so during my time here on Earth I'd love to accomplish everything I can. Live life to the fullest is one of my many mottos.

Not too long ago, on Facebook, someone put a 30 day photo challenge thing on there and this person had everyone putting 15 facts about themselves on it, well here's 15 facts about myself for those who read this:

1. My mom's convinced I'm a reincarnated hippie
2. The Rolling Stones and The Beatles are my 2 fave 60s British rock bands
3. In my eyes, Mick Jagger is the sexiest man alive to come out of England! And if I were his exact age, I'd marry him in a heartbeat if he asked! Sorry, but for being 67 years old, he sure does have a sexy body still!!!!!
4. I, for some reason that's still unknown to me, find Asian, Italian and English men totally sexy!!!
5. I have a stepdad named Greg, a mom named Brenda, a dad named Steve and a sis named Jessie
6. In my spare time, I love to read. If I don't have a book to read or something to read, I lose my marbles and go nuts from boredom!
7. I'm a huge art nut. I love art of all sorts
8. Someday, I would love to live in 1 of 5 places: England, China, Italy, Japan, Australia
9. I want to learn a foreign language other than Spanish
10. I want to fall in love
11. I want to get a tattoo
12. I want to travel the world
13. I'm only 5'8'' tall
14. People say when I was younger I looked like Bette Davis because of my blonde hair.
15. I'll listen to virtually any music except for rap/hip hop. I absolutely refuse to listen to that insane headache causing music!!!!
16. I want to go to a concert before I die for someone I actually listen to!
17. I'm a huge fan of flip flops
18. If you were to try and find me in the town of Bellevue, Ky, where I live, you would most likely find me at home either A. cleaning the house with the windows open and see me jamming out to The Rolling Stones singing right along with Mick Jagger, B. sitting on the front porch reading a book about The Beatles that I own or C. Sitting on the front porch reading a book about The Rolling Stones.
19. I can be very chatty at times and other times, be just downright silent as the grave. It's because I'm a rather shy person and don't like talking much.

Goals for the future.

I have a lot I would love to accomplish in my time here on Earth. You only have one life, so why not make it interesting? Well, for starters, I'd love to travel, to places far and exotic, like China, Japan, Italy, England, Australia. I'm not sure why it is that these places I would love to travel to, but there's just something about these places I'd love to see, I guess for England it's because one of my favorite bands is from there, The Rolling Stones, they got started by playing gigs at different clubs around London, like The Marquee Club, or places that may not be in London, like the Crawdaddy Club or the Longleat House. 


But right now in the now dimension, I just want to graduate. I'm currently attending Gateway Community and Technical College for an Associates Degree in Graphic Design. When I graduate, I want to get a job in Graphic Design. If there's a way to make a job out of doing CD covers for famous bands/artists, let me at it. Because this kind of stuff and advertising is what I love to do. I actually did a poster for a friend of mine. He's a massive music listener and he told me what he wanted on a poster and I had to ask him to repeat it because I thought I was hearing things. He wanted a poster for a 3 day music weekend, and as for the type of music, he told me British Invasion, I kid you not, he told me the artists he wanted, and he wanted the poster to make it look like these 3 English bands were going to each put on a concert over the course of 3 days. He wanted The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Wings, and The Who on here. I finished it for him and he paid me $30 for it. Cool.


Sometimes I wonder, how do we begin to like the stuff we like now? When I think back on who I was when I was younger, I proudly admit that when I was younger, I was the type of girl who went nuts for the boy bands of the late 1990s and early 2000's. But thank God I outgrew that phase. I sometimes wonder how I got to like bands like The Beatles, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, etc. And then it hits me: my step dad. Yeah, I got a step dad, he's awesome. And it also surprises some to hear that he's part Italian and part Jewish. Some people make a big deal out of it, saying "your step dad is Italian? Wow, I never knew that". Yup, I have a step dad, his name is Greg and he is awesome. I guess he's the reason why I like all these cool older bands, because he likes them, he basically introduced their music to me. And also, it extends to TV as well. There's these 2 TV shows that I love watching, although most people in my part of the world may not know what they are. Not surprisingly, they're both TV shows out of England, one's called Top Gear, the other is called My Family. I love the show Top Gear, it's funny and it teaches you about cars, and sometimes they do funny stunts with cars, like this one episode where they had to build their own limos and take these British singers to an award show. Another part of the show I like is when they have famous people on there. I have an episode I haven't watched yet at home on the DVR, it's an episode of Top Gear from 2007, that has Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones on it. Man he is one awesome dude. The other TV show I like is called My Family. It's about this guy named Ben Harper, who's a dentist, and his family, his wife Susan, his sons Nick and Michael, daughters Abby and Janie. I swear, my sister is exactly like Janie. and my mom says that I'm a mix of Abby and Nick, because I can be a little ditzy sometimes and I'm a massive music lover and a little clueless like Nick.


But my main goals for the future is to travel. Sorry if I tend to get off topic. I must have the attention span of a fly or something. But I really want to travel to places outside of the US. I've never really been on vacation anywhere outside the US and I really want to travel. I want to go to places far away, like England, China, Japan, Italy, Australia. But I'll definitely be getting myself a passport otherwise I ain't going anywhere! Another goal I have is to go to a concert for a band I actually like, when I was younger, I went to a concert with my sis for a band my parents both liked before they divorced, it was this country band called Alabama. They're okay, but I never really cared for them. Now, if I ever go to a concert, it's going to be for Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Seal or Shakira. Either one of those is fine with me. Believe it or not, I'm probably the only one in my college classes who actually loves music like Paul McCartney or The Rolling Stones. I'd love to see BOTH of these bands in concert because their music is totally amazing!
