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.

... a perfect movie...

"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]

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!

Went to see "Parade" on Wed and I'm *still* thinking about it. Haunting, beautiful, surprising, heartbreaking.

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 💔🎶

Celtic Music Festival is *always* a good time and this year's was no exception. Weather was spectacular! People-watching was terrific! The convivial fun was as best as I hoped!!

35 Years Ago Today:

I can still hear the chant, "We are a part of the rhythm nation!"

[Wish I could still fit into the tour tshirt]

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!

I got to see Kylie Minogue in concert in San Francisco! She was spectacular. She was rump-shakingly good. And at this portion of the show, quite moving...disco ball and all.

Program:
RODGERS Carousel Waltz
WG STILL Symphony No. 2 “Song of a New Race”

I'm a sucker for disco balls and floating confetti. 😁 Kylie Minogue was rump-shakingly fun and surprisingly moving ✨️
April 23, 2025 at 2:22 PM
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! ❤️
