I know…..enough with the old rocker dudes…but, I have to comment on my recent trip to Toronto to see Crue Fest…..Now, back in the day I was never a huge fan of the Crue…hubby was, but not me….I was more of a Bon Jovi kinda gal. But a few months ago I picked up a copy of the Heroin Diaries….Nikki Sixx’s account and personl diaries of his heroin addiction back when the Crue were one of the biggest rock acts around. It was harrowing, disgusting, compelling, nausiating and totally engrossing. I couldn’t put it down and read it over two nights. I personally don’t know how anyone could become addicted to heroin after reading his book. What an awful drug and it’s true…it ruins people’s lives. Along with the book he formed a band called Sixx Am and they recorded an accompanying cd….it rocks…..totally rocks…and since Sixx Am was one of the opening bands….off we went to Crue fest…..Papa Roach, Trapt, and BuckCherry performed as well…..it was loud….and all of the bands were great….even I have to say, even though Vince Neil is a tad overweight ( he’d do well to check out how amazing Billy Idol is holding up) and well, lets face it he’s always been a weak vocalist…..he ran around and gave the Crue fans what they wanted……Glad didn’t take my son though…lots of nudity from audience members and the semi- porn they had playing on the big screens…..it was fun…took me to back in the day….but I have never seen so many people stuck in the 80′s…..bad mullets….tons of them…..really bad….and women who wore clothes from twenty years ago….but geesh……they’ve gained like 20 pounds…..again, it was a nice way to kick off the long weekend…..we had a wedding yesterday….hubby and I performed at the ceremony….it was a beautiful day, awesome reception….great food and great friends….today we have a pig roast to go to……and the weather is cooperating for once!
So, what do you have planned for the last long weekend of the summer????
