EIGHT IS ENOUGH

To Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Jon and Kate and The Octomom,
I was raised to believe that Eight Is Enough.
Where were you?

Eight is Enough was one of the best shows from the late 1970's and early 1980's.
It was considered a dramedy and was the story of a family with Eight kids.
It had drama because the show could be serious at times but it also had comedy because the show was funny and it had a laugh track.
I'd bet money that not one single member of your litters will grow up to be as adorable as Willie Aames.

The Brady's knew better and stopped at Six kids.
The Brady Bunch could be considered a family of Nine.
Six kids, two parents PLUS Alice.

So, the big and the small of this post is to tell you freaks to GET OFF MY TV.
All you have is a laugh track, always will and no Willie Aames.
Seriously,
Libby

SINGERS WHO HOPEFULLY GOT COAL IN THEIR STOCKINGS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

Bryan Adams
WHAM  (I always make a cat hissing noise with claws after "I'll give it to someone special.")
Paul McCartney (I can't reinforce this enough).
Mariah Carey

My personal list of GREAT Christmas songs:
The Pogues (I give an A+ to this one because my boy Matt Dillon does a cameo in the video).
BAND AID
Sarah McLachlan (Sung by a great Canadian, written by another great Canadian Gordon Lightfoot. This is my all time favorite. Makes me cry and gives me shivers regardless of which one sings it).

WHAT DO YOU CALL A DOG WITH WINGS?

The WORST Christmas "song" EVER is THIS.
Tell me how the man behind songs like:
My Love
Band On The Run
Hey Jude
Could put out that God awful Christmas song?
Answer to both questions: Linda Eastman.

SHE'S GONE, SHE'S A RICH GIRL, SHE'S A MANEATER...

While looking up THEE most horrible Christmas video ever,
I came across some quality gems I need to share, from this same magnificent Duo of Rock n'Roll.
First let me tell you, that IMO this Jingle Bell Rock video is soooo pathetic that it is good.
If you know anything about the outstanding song writing talents, musicianship and awesome vocals shared by this Hall and Oats, then, like me, you'd chalk this stinko up to 80's humour.

Let's take it from the top:

1973  Contrary to all the jokes made at John Oats' expense, this song is one example of where John Oats shows his amazing vocals.
Daryl Hall has the Ziggy Stardust eyebrows (or lack there of) but this song is one of the finest ever written/performed, just not here.
1980's This is just one of my personal fav's from the many mega hits Hall and Oats gave us during the 80's.

By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognized Daryl Hall and John Oates as the NUMBER-ONE SELLING DUO in music history, a record they still hold today.

1988 This one is a Live version of the song Daryl wrote for Paul Young....the song that became Paul Young's signature. I am adding it because both Daryl and John look like they are flying as high as can be and yet STILL can pull of this performance.

2007 Last but not least, the Gem of all Gem's that I discovered today: http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/

Did you know that Daryl Hall never warms up his vocals cords before a performance...he just steps on stage and out comes that voice - Oooo That Voice :)

So Parker can keep her Billy Idol.
I am going to Daryl Hall's house for Christmas and forever after, as soon as I find out his address.

FULL HOUSE - FULL THIS!

We couldn't escape John Stamos acting like a complete tool along side Bob Saget, who was and still is a dink.
The world was forced to watch those Michelle twins grow up and become ka-billionaires (they reminded me of those bulgy eyed troll pencils).
NOW, as I look for Howard Jones 80's videos, that God awful TV show Full House strikes again.
Since when did Howard Jones look like that idiot from Full House?

I dont even know the guy's name, nor his character's name on the show but he was the loser who thought he was Popeye.
YUCK
Hey....and wasnt he the creep Alanis wrote "You Oughta Know" about!!!

NEVER AGAIN

Before we move on to more pleasant topics, I must confess, my clubbing was a shit show.
3 long days later and I have finally crawled out from under the hangover rock.
From all reports, my drunken behaviour was humorous to others...go figure.
I would have done so much better, had I gone to the Billy Idol Christmas Party I wanted to host.
My only saving grace; I didn't speak in a Cockney Accent.

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS.........

I am in heaven..... one of my favs from the 80's in a duet with my CERTAIN current favourite.... on my ABSOLUTE favourite late night show.......

Can't.  Stop.  Watching.

On another note..... I have not heard from Libby since her night out clubbing.  That must have been some party.....  Or as my dad would say.........
