Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll

How many concerts have you been to?

There I was last week meeting a friend for a drink after a really stressful day at work when low and behold we came face to face with the crowd lingering about due to the Ozzy Osborne concert. Once drinks were in hand, we found ourselves listing off all of the concerts we have been to all the way back to our childhood. I believe there might have even been some mention of Shawn Cassidy!

There were rock shows, pop shows, heavy metal, country performances and even some blues. What a trip down memory lane. I don't know about you but there are certain memories that I will always associate with certain songs and certain concert experiences. I particularly remember the Judas Priest concert where I received world’s biggest hickie, sitting on some cute guy's shoulders at Jimmy Eat World, getting pulled up over the front railing at Bon Jovi, having a guy punch out another guy that was mean to me at Velvet Revolver and oh yes, being so wildly in love at Guns & Roses.

So does that age old adage, Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, still apply? Absolutely... well, hopefully without the drugs. But that thought was quickly squashed when I noticed the police outside with a man turned around, his face pressed up against the glass of the restaurant as they frisked him! I guess for some all three still do go hand and hand and hand. And it doesn't matter what the age, old, young, middle-age, everyone still feels sexy when it relates to Rock & Roll. Hasn't there always been a time that you wished you had been a rock star? And are you like me and even own the rhinestone studded tank top that proudly boasts ROCK STAR on the front of it. Or maybe worse the little black boy shorts with a star studded guitar on the front and the word STAR written right across… well you know where. Come on admit it!

Rock On!
