Hey DC friends! Lizz will be appearing live and in person at the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse this weekend, January 29 and 30. Come get your laugh on! Buy tickets here.

Welcome to Episode Seven, in which your heroines discuss Joe Lieberman and his taint, broken romantic dreams and New Year’s Eve.

Well. That’s quite a thumbnail.

Welcome to Episode Six, in which your heroines discuss the Stoooopak Amendment, Lizz’s teenage years and rescue dogs.

So I am sitting here working on book. I have my TV on and in the background I hear, “Everybody’s Happy Nowadays”, one of my favorite Buzzcocks songs. I don’t look up, figuring it’s just Volkswagon or Target hipping it up again, or worse a cruiseline using Iggy! As a side bar; if you have a “Lust For Life” my guess is that your vacation choices don’t involve Old Country Buffet on a boat. Anywho, the voice over comes up and tells me the the ad is for AARP and I look up and see elderly folks donning paper birthday hats having cake, all the while Pete Shelley is singing. I stopped typing as I realized I am a waaay to close to my AARP eligibility and that indeed this is my future. Then I thought, I hope AARP is gonna take it one step further and start a chain of retirement communities for the aging music fans of the 70’s and 80’s. How great would it be? Instead of the resident who, every tuesday night plays Satin Doll on the accordion, Our old geezers will pound out a questionable version of “Bastards of Young.” We won’t care how bad it is, we will belt out the words with glee. Even when we can’t remember them.We could have theme nights, Glam, New Wave, punk, Grunge and our grandkids can come and laugh at our costumes and we can shower them with stories about the days when, “We were Cool.”They will laugh, unable to fathom such a time, but we will know its true.
