RIP: Davy Jones

The first concert my father ever took me to was The Monkees. I was small and it was the late, late 80s. Don't even try to guess my age - a lady, like a whore, never reveals her true number.

All I remember about the concert was how badass I thought I was. I told everyone I met I was going to see the Monkees, which really wasn't that big of a deal. AT ALL. They had this tv show that ran in reruns when I would go visit my grandma and I was sure that because I was at the concert, ultimately, I would be a tv star too. Man, I was deluded as a child.

Thanks to The Brady Bunch Movie for this clip...still makes me laugh.

rip: etta james

Believe it or not, I am actually well rounded musically.  Don't let the selena gomez and lucy hale videos fool you - my ipod is full of stupid songs (like those) mixed with classical and classic songs.  One person, who is always in heavy rotation, is the amazing Etta James. Between "Tell Mama" and "Stormy Weather", there is not a play list I have without them...they are essential Bunny music. Did you know you listen to Etta everyday? Well you do - she is the hook on Flo Rida's "good feeling". She was always so fashion forward with blond hair and cat eyes and will be missed.

Amy Winehouse RIP

If you havent seen or heard, singer Amy Winehouse died today. Cause of death is "unknown", but i think we all know what she died from. And because of that, I am angry. I am angry that at 27, her life is over. I am angry that I will never get to hear a new song, because she really was talented. Her song "back in black" was played on repeat for weeks on end in the car. She was a mentor to my new British fave, Dionne Bromfield, who is being touted as a "new Amy". I am angry that she didn't care enough to take opportunity after opportunity to help herself. And that's just plain selfish.

So Amy, I hope you know that you were loved and i hope you are in a better place. Full of cocaine wishes and alcohol dreams.
