Today I have received proof positive that the days of of my youth have passed me by:
Not in the passing of Farrah Fawcett – an icon of my teen years and indeed, the inspiration for the feathered hair that I and so many other women/girls sported at that time.
Not in the passing of Michael Jackson - a musical figurehead of my generation, whose impact has been both worldwide and lasting
No, my recognition that I am now a middled aged woman came as the result of an advertisement on the radio, kindly letting me know that The Pretenders – the “alternative” band I discovered during my teen years who sang songs such as “Bad Boys Get Spanked”, and whose ouevre included such lyrics such as “I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for” - yes those Pretenders, are playing Casinorama this year.
Pardon me while I go and turn up the volume on my TV and look into getting an adjustable bed. *sigh*

LOL whenever a band plays Casino Rama you know that they are an old band.
