Warning: dag alert

Guess what I did last night?

Just me and 10 000 of my mates,
(99% of whom were over 40 years of age)
reliving the fun of our youth.

Tears for Fears were amazing.
Those voices...
Spandau Ballet were fun.
A bit different to the 80s...
Overall less hair,
more wrinkles,
better clothing sense
but energetic and entertaining and having a ball.

(And might I say that the sax player, Steve Norman, is a certifiable 50 year old spunkrat.)

Yes, I am a dag and proud of it.
(and no, I didn't have a fluoro "Chose Life" tee and bubble skirt to wear)

And at the risk of starting to sound like a middle aged parent,
I have to say,
as inane or cheesy as the lyrics may be in some of the 80s music,
at least there aren't any words that I wouldn't like my children repeating back at me
or music clips that aren't suitable for them to see.

Now, if only Abba would reform...

How funny, I have always thought Steve Norman was the hottest out of the lot, even back in his 'chunky' 80's days...lol Hugs Naomi (another Adelaidean)

Ah, Naomi. I was a Tony Hadley gal. Only discovered Steve's charms near the end of their time.
