I think I need a social media break. Again. It's just shouting into the void. I don't think that's good for anyone. Sigh. I tried.

35 Years Ago Today. The opening act was Technotronic (Pump Up the Jam). Madonna at her most fierceness! I remember being riveted, on the edge of my seat. It wasn't until "Holiday" when we could release and dance. Cathartic stuff, for sure.

"Nobody's Diary" Alison Moyet at The Fillmore, San Francisco. (The audience singalong part sounded better in person, if I'm honest)

Alison Moyet at The Fillmore last night. She was spectacular! A terrific retrospective setlist of 40 years a solo artist, plus the Yazoo (Yaz) hits we all remember. Seeing her has been on my bucket list forever. Such a great night!! [Love her movements too]

I'm learning that social media is just a place to scream.

16 Years Ago Today! I've been a fan since the first time "Closer to Fine" was a hit (1989) and still can't believe I got to hear them live. It was a great setlist, generous with fan favorites and deep cuts. I still think about their stories told between songs. Such a terrific, energetic concert!

The only thing that brings me more great joy than skipping the sports section each day is skipping the pope section⚠️

16 Years Ago Today. I was too old for general admission standing room tickets back then (and now). But Keane's bathed-in-light sound was memorable, as was the Helio Sequence opening act. My shins still hurt though.

PARADE. First time seeing it, truthfully felt like I witnessed it. The touring company was outstanding. Beautifully sung. Cleverly staged.
I overheard conversations and the show may have offended some patron's delicate sensibilities and I'm glad about that.
Just heartbreakingly unforgettable 💔🎶

I wondered if something else could be a "conclave" but AI says it's only 4 chosing the pope. Basically it's a meeting but locked in, kinda like jury duty.
AI: "Conclave" is derived from the Latin "com" (together) and "clavis" (key), re the isolated, secret setting where the cardinals vote. 🗝

Reading a Brunetti mystery is usually fun, like visiting an old friend. But UNIFORM JUSTICE was cold. Diabolical corruption, evil death and lies. And NOT fun.
I don't read 2 in a row of any series but I needed to find my "friends" and dream about Venice, fine food and family. So, I'm going in!

Admittedly, occasionally I do like reading bad reviews:
"The streamer’s Broadway debut, now in residence at the Marquis Theatre, is a chaotic fire hose of fan-service with enough sensory stimulation to make even the most experienced gamer want to puke just a little."

Review | The ‘Stranger Things’ Broadway show is a terrifying cash grab
“Stranger Things: The First Shadow,” Netflix’s new stage extravaganza, is a brand tentacle aimed at existing fans, and it may leave newcomers in the dark.

I'm a sucker for disco balls and floating confetti. 😁 Kylie Minogue was rump-shakingly fun and surprisingly moving ✨️

Yup, Kylie Minogue was fun. An impossibly energetic 2-hour set. We were in disco heaven ✨️ Felt great to get away from the world's mayhem, even for a bit. And Rita Ora as opener was an inspired choice.

Dinner out tonight! Patrons in either baseball jerseys or glitter blazers w matching sparkling cowboy hats. I'm left playing a game I invented, "Where are they going later?" Choices are: Giants game or Kylie Minogue concert. Man, this is fun. And difficult!

I hear people say "I'm obsessed with <fill in the blank>" I always feel, yeah sure, you're obsessed. Whatevs. 🤷♂️
Now, when I say I'm obsessed with this record, I mean I bought it yesterday and have played it from start to finish a dozen times with no end in sight.
Meet me at the Lise fan club! ❤️

24 Years Ago Today: Dawn Upshaw
One of my favorite singers. This was one of the first recitals I'd been to like this. Little did I know how rare it would be. I haven't seen her concerts offered anywhere near where I live. Another reason why I remember it fondly; it was a real treat.
