Our Life

The scarab is a dung beetle. A dung beetle is so named because it eats dung.
If it eats dung, I'm not inclined to eat it.
The inedible scarab.

Maybe one day *you'll* get pink bannered.

~~~"A dung beetle is so named because it eats dung."~~~

Even my 12 year old humour can't top that.

That's quite true.

Ringo starr is sometimes referred to as the dung beatle.

Awww, I love Ringo. He gets high with a little help from his friends.

My fav was George.

John was overrated and the biggest nutcase of 'em all. Paul is just too…Paul. And Ringo, well he's a drummer, what can I say.

Paul was the cute one.

I liked them all, for different reasons. I'm a Beatles girl.

I think I had a crush on each of them at different times.

Peter was my favorite Monkee, however.

Never liked the Monkees, but ho boy .. gimme a Bay City Roller and we can have a talk!

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y………...HEY!

Oh yeah, the Bay City Rollers. . .my MUCH older sister liked them!

;-)

Les McKeown was my favorite. My girlfriend and I even had outfits. We took the stitching out of the sides of our jeans, and added strips of tartan, and had suspenders with buttons all over them and little tams … ~sigh~

~blows raspberry at Kirsten~

My oldest sister was sooo into them. I kind of got hooked…lol

I think they're actually still around in some capacity. I have all of those import albums packed away somewhere.

Then there was Andy Gibb ….

When you were into the Bay City Rollers, I had entered my shit-kickin' Southern Boogie era, when I wore (depending upon the season) jeans, flannel shirts and boys' work boots or a t-shirt, dime store flip flops and cut-offs.

But I ALWAYS wore eye makeup.

Was it blue eye makeup? We're talking mid 70's here, so I'm thinking the answer is yes.

They are…I think that they were here at the Casino last year.

No, PURPLE!

OMG ………….. late into the thread …………….. I was about 7 or 8 when the Bay City Rollers were happening. Got the knickers to prove it! (bought by older sister)
I didn't realise a 'wee' Scottish band hit the US. They were bad beggars mind you. One was jailed a couple of years ago for child porn ………………. Derek, the drummer I think.

OMG, that's kinda sad, isn't it? I guess it's better than appearing at some small town festival or something. Although if they came to a local festival around here, I'd go. They still have my autograph album! I mailed it to them about, oh, 32 years ago, lol! Never got it back.

Oh NO, Lynne, not Derek! He always seemed so sweet and nice.

Well…I don't quite think it would have been 32 years ago…but I bet they were pretty poular back then. Email them now! They'd probably send you an autographed pair of their gitchies! lol

Bay City Rollers are the best.

(there's more, but I'm not going down that road)

Thank you and good night!

~WAHHHHHHH~ I want my autograph album back!

Maybe they would. I should try it. "Young teen's dream realized, 30-something years later, when decrepit European rock band finally sends her long awaited autograph" .. I can see the headline!

Is it embarrassing that I still think Free Bird is a great song?

Not at all. We still yell it at every concert we go to ;>)

Regardless of who's playing, right?

I yelled it at my friend Julie's son's bar mitzvah once!

Oh definitely!

We had a dj here in Chicago, Kevin Matthews, his fans are called Kev Heads. He used to highly encourage his fans to yell FREEBIRD! at all concerts.

One time some fans of his were at a Bodeans concert, where they of course yelled FREEBIRD! while the lead singer was talking about something. The lead singer told them to "shut the f*ck up" and the guys caught it on videotape. So funny!

Kevin Matthews used to play the little bit on the radio all the time.
