loved loved loved the P!nk vid, and no, I had not seen it. Such a powerful and moving dance they did. I posted it on my son's FB page, as he is a dancer, and he loved it to!
Interesting, the vid is approaching 9,000,000 views, and was put out on Oct. 10th!!!!!
Damn, I wish Adam had that kind of popularity, maybe someday, as P!nk has been around a while. I am not very familar with her back ground, but sure she paid some dues for a while before becoming the star she is today.
Also, on the plane coming back from UK, I watched Katy Perry's video, Part of Me, about her tour last year. I believe it said she was signed to her first label when she was 19, so it also took her a while to make it to huge arena tour. I was really surprised at how vast and huge her tour was, she was on the road for a year.
Anyway, this is kind of off the current topic of deeper stuff, sorry about that.

here is your very own personal PIA saying, sorry, love, didn't mean to ruffle feathers.

Junie & LG, I have no clue who de Tou...??? is, please tell me I don't have to find out now. Or, maybe I should.........

I actually bought a coffee cup or two with the following:

(quote from LG above:)
As they say on the other side of the pond, “Keep Calm and Carry On”.
I love that! My friend told me it is a popular saying from an old sitcom in Britain, and we tried to find DVD's of the show, have you seen it?

annala:
Loved your post! I was right behind you by a few years, and yes, the times, they are a changing.

My personal view:

When the moon is in the 7th house,
and Juipiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
and love will rule the stars.

It is the dawning of the age of Aquarius!



Many "enlightened people" have very high hopes that we are on the cusp of a New Age. And, it is always darkest before the dawn.

as momtomany would say:
peace&love

I couldnt find Trespassing for the thumbs up on B104, am I looking in the wrong place?

Greetings Moon Gardeners ~

So glad to be back home, and really enjoying all the music posted here. Great to see all my friends checking in!

Sugaree - I lOVE Jimmy Buffet, and go to Margaritaville quite often. I saw him in concert years ago in Austin, I love his music, and I can remember several of his songs that were popular back in the day, bring me two Pina Coladas, one for each hand. Hope you have a great time on your anniversary trip!

This is for you, junie:

My trip to the UK was amazeballs, I went with my sister, we met up with a group that had already hit London, we spent a week in Edinburgh, and toured around in Scotland, it was really beautiful there! We went to St. Andrews, of golf and Prince William/Kate fame, went to Blair Castle, up the Spey (a river where all the Scotch distilleries are) and toured Glendronach Distillery, got a little buzz there while participating in the Conisuer's tour.
Then to York, Bath, Salisbury, and ended our trip in London. We mostly saw castles, museums, and Cathedrals.
This was my first trip overseas, and I loved seeing all the very old and amazing architecture.

Glittergma: your son's wedding sounds like it was really fabulous! We saw weddings where ever we went while in UK. The hotel we stayed at in Bath had weddings at the hotel each night we were there. I got to meet the father of the bride on the first night, and the maid of honor the second night. Our hotel was 5 miles south of Bath, in a building that had been built in 1760, and had eventurally become a hydrotheraputic facility. It was very beautiful.

Several things impressed me about the UK. First, although the buildings are old, they take great care in making things look new and fresh on the inside. I loved their heating systems. I have an old rock house, and it is hard to keep heated in the winter, and I would love to have their radiator systems in my house. Hubby says we would have to put a boiler in the basement.
There are no fat people in the UK. Guess it is because they walk everywhere. And McDonalds, although present, is not on every corner. Their food consists of a lot of potatoes, sausage, and lamb, and fish, of course. And lots of tubular vegetables that I was not familar with, but enjoyed.
How do they make their french fries? They taste so much better there. At one pub, my sister and I shared "The Codfather" which was a huge fillet of fish and chips, really yummy.
I tried to eat different foods than what I am familar with, and at one restaurant, had ambergine (not sure that was spelled right). It was eggplant, and was delicious. I also sampled the different beer there, Guinness was my favorite.
People are very polite there, and in Scotland, they are downright friendly. Everyone we met was very nice. There was no pushing or shoving or shouting or rudeness. On the streets of Bath, where I was amazed that all the huge buses could make those tight corners on narrow streets, there were no traffic jams and no people blasting their horns. I was surprised there were no car wrecks to be seen. They are courteous drivers across the pond.

We met up in London with my BFF UK Glambert, and she showed us where Adam had performed his London Showcase, the Royal Arts Club. We got a picture in front of the club, as it is a very exclusive Men's Club, and they wouldn't let us inside. The front door was manned by an man in a Derby Hat and coat tails.
We also walked by the Royal Albert Hall, where Adam also played, we didn't go inside, as the tour for the place was over 10 lbs. I think it is the equivalent of our Carnegie Hall, very beautiful and majestic looking.
She took us to Harrod's and on the 5th floor there is this very exclusive perfumery. They have 5 large glass containers that hold different perfumes, and you can have them mixed to make your own custom fragrance there. We sampled some of the scents, but no way I could afford anything in that shop.
Lady Gaga Fame perfume is now in stores there, I saw big displays in quite a few stores.
There were more shoe shops in London and Bath than I have ever seen in my life!

In London, we saw the play, Billy Elliot, and it was very good. My son is a dancer, so the story reminded me of him, and Elton John wrote the music, it was really really good. We couldn't get tickets to Rock of Ages or We Will Rock You, which are playing there. We spent quite a bit of time in the West End, where most of the theatres are, it is like our Broadway in NYC. Lots of fabulous shops, boutiques, and pubs on almost every corner.

On one of the buses going by, I saw a huge sign, it took up the whole side of the bus, that said "Some people are gay. Get over it". I loved that sign, and hope that some day, people will get over it.

All in all, it was a really fabulous trip! Unfortunately, now I am so broke, there is no way I can go to Adam's concert in Grand Prairie, which is here in Texas in 2 weeks. It is killing me that he will be so close, and I will miss him again!
