Whoa--it's been a while!  But, it's at least possible that by next year, a new album and/or tour--hope does spring eternal in the rabid fan's heart.  In the meantime, with so little AC/DC news available, life's been a lot of same old, same old, what can a kitten do?  Due to some unbelievable luck, was taken to the Rod Stewart concert that by great happenstance occurred ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!  He gave a really good show, lots of energy, a certain amount of irony, not bad at all.  Rod was into it--must-have star requirement and he looked like he was having a good time, singing and dancing around.  Don't meant to sound lukewarm about it, I got to go, but it wasn't an AC/DC concert, after all.

For the last few weeks, been watching Live From Daryl's House, a show that Daryl Hall (from Hall and Oates) hosts, inviting different musicians, some from back in the day, some who are currently en vogue, to jam with his band, maybe sing some of his past hits, definitely sing some of the guest's hits.  Although the viewing schedule is less than good (two episodes at 1 and 1:30 am on Saturday nights), the episodes are all online, so still accessible.  Have been really suprized at the quality of the music that has been on view and particularly surprized that I've been so open to it.  Plus, I never knew Daryl Hall was so talented.  He seems really happy to meet each of the guests and gets into singing with the guests on their songs, plus singing his songs with different arrangements, leaving a lot up to the guests seems to give him a charge.  Have gone into a Hall and Oates jag and plan to see them on September 10.  Will be reporting on the experience.

One of the standout guests on LFDH is Butch Walker.  He did a version of Say It Isn't So with Daryl and WOW!  Not a fan of watching videos online, but think I've watched that one at least 25 times.  Even wanted to buy it from ITunes--something I never do.  It isn't sold that way, so whatever, will have to figure out another way to add it to my music library.  Excellent, really!  Would be so cool if he showed up as a guest surprize at the concert!
