Glutter Presents: The Kiddie Cheese Days

The Concert Series

Glutter Plugs and Doodles

A lot of people asked last week, “Who else have you seen?” And I couldn’t really remember, so I wrote it down. It turned out to be nine pages long. So I have split them up into seven categories, and shall post one a day for a week. This is the last of the series.

I was also once a kid. So I saw some kiddy bands too and I loved every one of them. As much as I can’t stand the boy/girl bands of today, I find that adoration and mania very cute as I remember it rather well.

–Paul Young:

90 minutes just to hear one song. That pompadour and baggy white shirt forever etched in my mind.

–Bananarama:

Can’t tell you one thing of note at the concert! But they were so much fun. Thanks for all the cheesy dance steps, I still use them today!!

–New Edition (at Disneyland),

“Mr. Telephone Man, there’s something wrong with my line, I call my girl’s number and I hear a click every time.” Ah, the original boy band..

–Cindy Lauper:

Girls they wanna have fun! People were dancing at the Coliseum. I hardly remember it now. Just a mass of bright orange hair and those fifties mess nets. I had a house mate who wore them, she was Cindy reincarnated. She also had the most amazingly painted and decorated school bus ever to exist called the “Subliminal Peach.”

–Duran Duran:

Big Thing Tour therefore minus Roger and Andy. I went twice too. Had the most beautiful concert program I had ever come across and such cool poems by Nick Rhodes in them too. “Your 15 minutes of fame slowly ticking away.” First time I connected to the genius of Andy Warhol.

Extra Bonus: a little trick that amused my friend Dave Brenner while we were watching the MTV Awards: (point with finger) Simon Le Bon, (point) Roger Taylor, (point) Andy Taylor, (point) John Taylor, (point) Nick Rhodes.” They are touring again. Come to HK PLEASE!!

–Air Supply:

After Rolling Stones, we tried to think of bands we would refuse to see, and I said, “There aren’t any I wouldn’t go.. if I had a free ticket.” And Loberta replied, “I can think of one you would never go to: Air Supply!” I blinked for a second and then went, “Actually I already been…” Response: Gobsmacked and Jaw on Floor.. ha ha.

“I know how to fake it, I know how to scheme.. blah blah no idea the words… making love out of nothing at all.. making love (the most ridiculous high pitch emphasis on love) out of nothing at alllllllllll (sound like someone is being strangled)“ Dispite that I continued to love the song.

Ahh, the secret Cheese Ball Side Revealed.
