The women do seem to go extra gaga over celebrities. . . I CBA. . .

Wgat did that ball player ever do for me? NOTHING! I considered liking hot
actersses,. but realized as soon as I liked one, two more'd just replace her
who were equally as worthy of my 'improper' interest.

Farrah Fawcett prolly went the longest  (& Jaclyn Smith -- yup, I only liked
Charlie's Angels for them); but all good things came to an end & I moved on
when the series did. . .

Did like Babewatch for a while (local home girl Pamela Anderson starring)

But the story was noticeably missing, & just loking at tyhe sam,e old same old,
bouncing across the sdand scenes got ho hum soon enough; that's when I outgrew
caring who was on the tv. . .

Except for Helen Hunt in Mad About You, as she's an excellent method actor --
she fully & truly becomes the character, & expresses every microexpression the
character would, & easy on the eyes never hurts either, but no more was that
the pivotal basis for my interest.

Now, of course, every actress on every sitcom is young enough to be my kid!

Ick, no thanks. . .

I only saw one concert in person, late '80s, Lionel Ritchie, as my girlfriend
got free tix as a babysitting bonus.

They were nosesbleed seats(band members were vertical ants), but no matter; I
wasn't interested in Lionel Ritchie; liked people-watching more than anything,
until everyone around us got too high. & became boring, & my GF was getting
nauseated from the second hand pot smoke, so we left early. 

No loss.

I was just confused why literally EVERYONE around us was smoking weed -- at a
rock concert, I get it -- that's deemed part of the culture, but pop? Unless it
was to try to make a boring show even slightly elevated?

Oh well; never been to another concert -- they seem too loud & boisterous for
my tastes -- I prefer studio albums -- as there's just the music & singing.
