I've got the Live Aid dvd set, and the one thing that stands out (for me, at least) is Queen. Freddie Mercury was a frickin' ROCK GOD.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Plei, Vortex, did I ever mention that the first concert I ever went to was H&O? True story!
Big Bam Boom? Cause me too!!! Of course, my mother doesn't know that I went, because I was spending the night at my best friend's house and we went. Awesome!

But a line like
I think that was the same, just a woman singing it. So third person narrative all the way around, both versions.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh dear gods. What have I started?

Oh dear gods. What have I started?
For what it's worth, all the H&O lyrics haven't dislodged the "Maniac" ear-worm yet, so I have that to "thank" you for.
eta Except I keep seeing a Kia salesman instead of Jennifer Beals, which just makes it worse.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And while my veins are small, I really don't think that starting on the side of my wrist was the best plan.
Actually, that's often a good one on me. I was surprised, because I'm a hard stick and I don't see anything there. Sorry about the four sticks, though.

That's so awesome, JZ! AND Vortex!
My first concert was Duran Duran.
Freddy Mercury is such a loss. He was so damn good.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is Kia doing that stupid Flashdance ripoff commercial outside of Chicago? It's got that annoying song with a male salesman doing all of the varied Flashdance moves around the showroom floor, starting with the running-in-place-while-rubbing-hands-all-over-hips-and-stomach, and progressing to the big finale, having the water splash on him from above. Really, really annoying.
It's airing here and Owen loves to dance to it.
