Do you think I'm Sexy??????
The Countess went into Boston for a couple of nights last weekend with my BFF, the Lady Alice.
It was the national convention for the AARP at the Boston Convention Center and they were offering two concerts that we wanted to attend.
The Westin Waterfront Hotel connects to the Boston Convention Center via an enclosed walkway. Bill, the bartender at the Birch Bar, was kind enough to keep the Glenlivet stocked and ready.
Lily Tomlin and "Earth, Wind, and Fire" seemed like an unlikely pair to be on the same bill but both acts were wonderfully entertaining. Lily did a whole monologue on Dubya in addition to her standards of Ernestine, the telephone operator, and Edith Ann, the 6 year old. The best line was how Dubya had been "leaking intelligence" for the past few years. Get it? Haha....so that's why he can't speak two words properly!
Earth, Wind, and Fire did a medley of their hits like "After the Love has Gone", "Got to get you into my life", and my favorite "September".........
Ba de ya - say do you remember,
Ba de ya - dancing in September,
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day .
The crowd was rocking and rolling with them. They've been around for 35 years.....fantastic!!
The real draw for the weekend was the Saturday night concert by Rod Stewart. For a 62 year old, he is still very Sexy!! He rocked out for two hours singing "Maggie May", "Do You Think I'm Sexy?", and several songs from his American Songbook album.
When he sang "Hot Legs", he shared a picture of himself in drag in a short dress with Very.Hot.Legs!!!
The Countess didn't get to meet him but that didn't stop me from dancing in the aisles!!

Boy howdy! You never miss a thing. Good times for you.
For the record (& pardon the pun), Rod Stewart's LP "Foot Loose and Fancy Free" was the first album I ever bought. Thanks for the flashback :-)
Hoss....You said it! I never miss a thing if I can help it. I'd go to the opening of an envelope if I was invited....and make it into a fun party to boot!!
Mark....Rod still has 'IT' and his whole band and singers all put on a great show.
