This aging rocker who is not as old as a Rolling Stone and also has television experience does not even bother making an effort at finding groupies any longer. On a recent cruise he had one of his tour guys find women wearing his shirts and if they were single and interested the tour person just sent them to the former A list rocker's cabin.

ReplyDeleteI'd do him fo sho. He's still hot. He was one of my very first crushes too. Oh Dr. Noah Drake.
ReplyDelete...to ICU to treat a case of heartbreak...
DeleteYes, I had the song. On a 45.
Kim Mitchell is better
ReplyDeletemy fiance was back stage at a concert he was performing in, various D level artist, local bands type thing. She said he was rude, unprofessional, and WASTED!!!!! also he was sweating profusely (it wasnt hot) n smelled of pure alcohol. His performance mirrored that, ppl were PISSED!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just old me but this is really just rocknroll SOP. Roadies always pulling leg for the boss.
ReplyDeleteDerek, Kim Mitchell, whuuut?? Even as a dude you must recognise that KM rates on the bangability bar aboot 3000 miles below Dr. Noah Jessie's Girl Drake??
ReplyDeleteBangability bar! Very funny, TTM (and totally agree)!
ReplyDeleteRight, surfer??
DeleteHe's 65 now, hasn't had a hit in decades, and must not be fussy at all anymore. Any women he attracts via stage hands have to be real winners.
ReplyDeletettm--jokesjokes---only us Canadians can truly appreciate a REAL man lol
ReplyDeleteI used to like him back in the day but he's just gross now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's so shocking that a rock star would do this. LOL
ReplyDeleteHe was so fine and of course, I'm old enough to remember when he first came out...way back in the early 70s. :)
Thank sweet baby jeebus, Derek, I was worried aboot your eyesight! Yay canadian rockers ftw! Oooh, speaking of, Lawrence Gowan could totally get it
ReplyDelete65 is old to be on the Bangability scale. Like maybe a 2 for fame factor? Now if I was 70 the score would probably move up.
ReplyDeleteyeah Gowans not bad---Kim not so much. Skullets don't really do it for me....I think I will put on some Gowan---whats the Gowan song they would always play at The Degrassi school dances?...
ReplyDeleteBwahaha! Skullets! Strange Animal or maybe the slow one, what was it....I like "There in a Minute".I saw him live in a tiny dive bar (UNDER a strip club) and made a huge ass out of myself. It was awesome.
ReplyDeletettm---how? Pulling out the interpretive dance moves to strange animal? lol--Moonlight desires is the song---I am grooving to it right now...
ReplyDeleteThere were DEFINITELY interpretive dance moves, but it started even before that. He was staying at the hotel I worked at and I got to serve him supper. It was not pretty. At the show I threw a loonie at his crotch, AND connected, the stole a poster off the wall and made him sign it. After telling him I stole it. I bet he was afraid to go back to that hotel that night
ReplyDeleteTTM that story is hilarious even without having a clue as to what a "loonie" or Skullets is.
Deletea girls gotta do what a girls gotta do when in the presence of a Canadian icon lol
ReplyDeleteThe last time I saw anything of him he didn't look 65. He didn't look like Noah Drake but he didn't look too bad.
ReplyDeleteskullet is like a mullet but balding on top
ReplyDeleteLOL, I don't think that's what they're talking about but now at least I know what a loonie is.
Deletea loonie is our dollar coin---big spender ttm lol
ReplyDeleteI'm calling my travel agent to get me on one of those cruises!! Does anyone remember the hot vampire movie he did?
ReplyDeleteBig RS fan here, so please indulge me:
ReplyDeleteLast cruise was in 2011 (recent?)
His wife has been on all of the fan cruises, so it's safe to assume they shared a cabin
There were several hundred women in RS shirts on those cruises, so for this to be true he would have never left his room for the multiple concerts and meet n greet events.
He's no saint, but this one is pure B.S.
There, now I feel better. :-)

ReplyDeleteJust watched that last night. Great doc, major kudos to Dave.
@Scallywag: Agreed. Not only a great musician he's trying to keep the craft real. Love him.
ReplyDelete@TTM - as a fellow Canadian girl, you are SO RIGHT about all three! LOL LOVE Kim Mitchell, but I would just never. RS or LG? "I'm going out, honey, put the kids to bed!"
ReplyDeleteThanks to Rick Springfield I can filter new people I meet into the "not friend" category immediately when they decide to sing Jessie's Girl at me.
ReplyDeleteThe least they could do is sing Carly Simon's Jesse.
ReplyDelete@Jessie Yeah, well I get "Chuck E's in Love"
ReplyDeleteOmg @TTM, I think it would be a blast to have many drinks with you!
ReplyDeleteGoing by your name, I'm gonna bet you are on this side of the border, I think CeeKay too, right?? Canadian CDaN Meetup at the next Lawrence Gowan concert! Bring lotsa loonies!!
