I've never been so thrilled with myself for saying no before in my life.  :)
"Babe, are you sure you don't want to head out now?  We'll find the bathroom on the way"
"Not a chance, we might miss this"
"What exactly re we going to be missing"
"I have no idea...but it's gonna be good"
And...it was.
AEROSMITH.   AEROSMITH and JOHNNY DEPP.  AEROSMITH IN HOLLYWOOD WITH JOHNNY DEPP...AND I GOT TO SEE IT!  BOOM.
The show over all was great.  As a fan of these guys, watching them in person rock out is always fantastic to see.  To hear?  Yes, of course, it's rock and roll baby c'mon!  But these boys are more than typical rock, these men are rock solid.  They have tunes that people have loved since before I was even born.  It's always made me wonder though, how come they all seem to be aging appropriately, except for Joe Perry?  Don't get me wrong, they aren't drastically horrifying to look at, Steven Tylers had his share of "work done", he's also been to hell and back, along with the rest of them, with regard to drugs and alcohol.  But Joe just looks good.   He doesn't have a stupid crows foot.  And he also doesn't look pumped full of botox...and yes, even I've done that once or twice.  But really and truly, he looks good.   And not "for his age".  He looks like he did thirty years ago.  Maybe not as sickly, as again, addictions can certainly make one look ill.  So anyway, when at the very last second, Steven Tyler announced something about hearing that Depp was "in the house", I just about fell off the chair...that at five feet tall, I was standing on.  Well holy shitstix in heaven...Johnny Depp came out to jam.  With the already awesome energy of Aerosmith.  And I was there to see it.  I think I can almost die happy now.  If Slash was there too, I'd be buried already.  :)
Peace, Love, Rock On.  Mel
