I must interrupt Twilight Week here to bring you breaking news!

I just found out (thank you Donna) that Motley Crue is coming to New Orleans Feb 28th with Theory of a Deadman. Presale tickets are on sale NOW, general public tickets go on sale December 6th.

If I don’t get tickets to this concert, I promise you, I will flood this town with tears.

Motley Crue is my absolute favorite band EVER. And I love Theory of a Deadman. And I like a couple of Hinder’s songs, too. I want to be front and center, right in front of Nikki Sixx - oh, what a dream that would be. I know that won’t happen, but I will be happy just to be there. I am going to get tickets. Two of them. I don’t even care who goes with me.

Aaahhh… I can’t take this! Luckily for me, I get paid the day before tickets go on sale. Let’s just hope I get all of my bills caught up before then so I have a little “extra” to get the tickets. Or I’m telling you, it’s not going to be pretty around here, folks!

I have a new CD in my car that has taken up permanent residence. At least temporarily. It’s Kid Rock’s Rock-N-Roll Jesus, and it rocks my world. I realize I have posted about my meeting with Kid Rock before, and while I don’t mean to seem obsessive, yes.. I am posting about him again. Why? Well, let’s just say I’ve never really given him a chance. I never disliked him, but I was quite indifferent.

Things they are a changin’ around these parts, folks. I’m now offically, obsessivly loving Kid Rock and his music.

Just for starters, he is kind of hot. In a very bad boy, white trash kind of way - which is apparently just how I like them. (source: my track record)

He has won me over. I have no willpower anymore when it comes to him, his lyrics, his F you attitude, and his body. So, I’m going to dive into my favorite songs on the album, because… well, because I think you should know. And if you secretly enjoy [explicit lyrics] then you will really love this album. It’s chock full of songs you can totally enjoy when there are no kids in the car.

My favorite songs on the album are, in no particular order …

All Summer Long (obviously, this is what made me purchase the CD)
Sugar - I love the lyrics, definately a top pick for me. I crank this one up really, really loud and sing until I almost lose my voice.
So Hott - this one is good and dirty, and makes me smile It also gets cranked up very loudly.
Don’t Tell Me You Love Me - this song, for some reason, reminds me of Dennis. I love it.
Blue Jeans and a Rosary - I just like the simplicity of this one, it’s sweet.
Lowlife - this song could be about most men I have known in my life… nearly all of which live in this town.
Half Your Age - A great F YOU song, no doubt.

So, go listen. It’s worth it, especially if you love a little bad boy rock n’ roll. In which case, I do. This cd is wonderful for me going to and from work, it’s a real wake me upper! Highly recommended (from me, because you know I have exceptional taste in … um… everything!!)

P.S. - My late appreciation for Kid Rock has me really ticked off, because he is on tour now and wouldn’t you know, he kicked off his tour right here in New Orleans. Everyone in town went, I didn’t even notice. Sometimes being a late bloomer really sucks!!

my latest and greatest obsession… Shooter Jennings. When he sings, all I can do is close my eyes and sing loudly along with him and get lost in his music… I just love it. Look him up on YouTube and Myspace. Great stuff, I promise. If I ever have another boy, I might name him Shooter. Yep. I might.
