Re: Olivia Newton-John- Xanadu at Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Sydney Austrailia 2008

Did I miss the name of the special guest or did Admiraal write REDACTED FOR SECURITY REASONS?

How dumb to not book the venue that's like events management 101. I'm surprised that Fox Studios didn't stop to think about it though.

Me playing with your mind ... I did in fact write REDACTED ... but if I told you I would be hung drawn and quartered ... ;-)

Yes, it is Events Management 101 and yes you would have thought that Fox would have questioned what was happening but they did not ... the worst thing is that initially NMG tried to say the split was a good idea ... only time will tell if that is right.

... that the split isn't really considered to be a good idea...

That is an understatement ...

Time will tell but NMG really needs to make sure they book the venue now for next year.

I think you can safely say that the venue has been booked for a few years now.

This post made me smile big. Lip synch or no (I actually kind of cut her a break for that--she's sixty-some years old. lol And she looks fucking GREAT!).

This is a wonderful closing of the circle: ONJ-->Xanadu-->Gays and Lesbians. A lot of folks wonder, what on earth is the connection? I don't know. But I just know that there's something there.

Ohhh I know what it is. Or at least I can posit. I could write a whole dissertation on that.

"Have You Never Been Mellow" is a great song by ONJ.

Re: Favorite songs by Olivia Newton-John

I don't know much about her, but I first heard the song "Don't Cut Me Down" during the end credits of "It's My Party". The song is sad and inspirational at the same time.

I'm tall, I need room to grow
I need the sun in my eyes
My home is the earth below
One day I know I will touch the sky

Don't cut me down, for I am innocent
Don't cut me down, I am your friend

I sigh when the four winds blow
I cry when the cool rains fall
I shine in the moonlight's glow
I am a home for the great and small

Don't cut me down, for I am innocent
Don't cut me down, I am your friend

Give me a year, a year another year
It takes me time for new life to appear
You cut me down quicker than I can regrow
Give me a chance, I am the air you breathe
Imagine what life would be without me
I have been here longer than you have you know
Harvest the seeds you sow

Don't cut me down, for I am innocent
Don't cut me down, I am your friend

I'd have to say Physical, because I used to love hearing it in a dancercize class I took.

Also, there's something about Please Mr. Please that I love.

Re: Favorite songs by Olivia Newton-John

Here is her latest incarnation as a techno dance diva. This is from the soundtrack of her upcoming movie A Few Best Men.

She came to my book store yesyerday and signed books. She is so cute. But, she is very diva.
