~~~yeah. AC/DC and KISS. that's what i was getting out
of these guys. which was okay, i guess. but i thought
i had always heard 'pop/punk' or something along those
lines... or 'ramones' or something. so, i was
thoroughly confused and slightly disappointed at
having expectations... oh, those damned expectations.
i was expecting something else.... but the guitarist
was ripping it UP!!! yeah.... my bad socialization
that comes through just when i thought i was the BEST
student of radical feminism kept going 'man, that's a
CHICK??? fk yeah!!!'
and as far as rooney ---- where did the kids hear of
this band (insert beatles scream here!!! from them,
not necessarily from me.)??? i mean, have any of y'all
heard of them?? curious the big big response they got.
and ok go. yeah, bring it on boys. this was my second
viewing, and i love them better live then on record.
they pull off the harmonies clear and loud..which is
important to me... yum yum.... they're so damn hot.
vocally, that is. i think i had my eyes closed for
most of the show.
but kelly did such a great job, i'll leave it at that.
