I'll Get You My Pretties, Just As Soon As I Chase You Down in My Walker
While getting my hair cut over the weekend, I tossed out the following conversational gambit:
"We're really excited to go see the Pretenders next week."
Long pause, while the two young ladies working on my tresses (Late twenties, mid-thirties) look around blankly, obviously desperately trying to think of something to say that won't hurt my feelings.
"Ummmm. I know I've heard of them, but who are they? What do they sing?" one said helpfully.
Fooey.

If you'd said you were seeing Journey I'd understand, but the Pretenders? Chryssie Hynde??? That's insane!
What?! This is just NUTS! This past week, I was on the truck with some other dudes and we were all rocking to "Brass In Pocket" or whatever and I remarked about how much "Back on the Chain Gang" rocked. Who doesn't love them?
Perhaps if you mentioned a passage or two from the Good Book, they would have been more impressed--and saved.

Jake and Artful, Thanks for backing me up on that one! Chrissie was amazing--she can still rock...and in glam, knee-length boots to make sure you're really paying attention.
Anonymous, I really love your comments! They are very creative, and I always look forward to seeing how you tie things in. I mean this sincerely. And don't worry too much about me. I go to church regularly...and even take my kids.
