Lenny Kravitz Gig
Tullia and I find Lenny Kravitz absolutley ravishing so when he was coming through town for a concert, we could not miss him! Ania, Michelle and Marcella also had tickets so it was to be a girly affair. We headed to Spar to pick up some 7up and some vodka to make a concoction to drink on the bus. We felt like teenagers again, passing around the bottle getting hammered on the way to the gig. We were dressed head to toe in rain gear since it was just lashing rain as we headed out. The walk to Marlay Park we finished off our drink and the rain subsided, for a bit. We arrived just as the opening band, One Republic, were wrapping up, but we caught their best song. We missed the very first band, but none of us had heard of them, so not a biggie. We grabbed our burgers, chips and beer and found our spot for Alanis Morissette. I did not think I would know that much of her stuff, but I did know every song. As the beers flowed, as did our singing and throwing our arms around each other swaying to the music. It was like reliving a part of my teenage and early twenties since her hit songs a several years old now. How time flies! As her biggest hit came on, we ran for the loo since we knew everyone and there mom would soon be following us. Sure enough, no queue, but as we got out of the outhouses, there was an enormous queue! Just to be sure we had enough gargle, we got a few more before Lenny came on. It took ages for him to get ready but we were well lubricated by the time the lights started up. And Lenny came on. Hubba hubba. He is a true rockstar, show up late, tight leather pants, big dark sunglasses, high healed boots and a flowing half opened shirt in all black. No one else could really pull that off as sexy, but he can! He never did take off his shirt which was a huge let down, but he did take off the shades for a bit. He had long guitar solos and piano solos and even sung a few versus from Pink Floyd and the Beatles. All in all, it was a good show, especially since the rain was just a slow drizzle by the end of the night and we could not have cared less. Anna stayed behind with her mates, and the last of us 4 girls walked and sang hand in hind before hopping into a taxi during his finale, just to get a jump on getting out of there. Great night with the girls and sweet dreams of Lenny!
