Cars and Blondie Tour

The Cars without Ric Ocasek are NOT the cars.

Who'd waste their money on that!

Yeah. Guess we'll find out, once we see how they sell.

Ah Jeez, here we go again with the aging thing. With the exception of the weight gain, I think she looks good. The woman is in her 60's, afterall.

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

yea and Ben Orr has been dead for a few years now too- LETS HAVE A CARS REUNION WITHOUT EITHER OF OUR SINGERS!!

Its like when my brother and his buddy came back from the auto show years ago. The Byrds were playing. The only original member is the drummer......

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

D'oh!

I knew that comment would stir up Lady Strange.

I think when an artist is as HOT as Blondie was (looks wise), the fall is a lot greater as she ages.

An average looking person the decline isn't so noticable.

That's all. We all age, it's a fact of life. It's also a fact of life that as we age we tend to lose the features that made us attractive in our younger days. It's just how it is. No offense intended to Blondie. She's just not hot anymore. In fact, she's quite cold.

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

well, I am for it if they can earn another few hundred grand and are ok with being a nostalgia act. $87 a tic? I can't wait to see their 50th reunion tour. They'll be there.

Darn tootin' that stirred me up! You don't know - It's so hard for women! It makes me wanna crawl into a hole sometimes, I swear! Getting old stinks for all of us, but it's just not the same for guys. (Although the hair loss thing, which mostly happens to guys - that's not fun, I'm sure.)

And as far as Debbie (She does have a name, Riggs! ) Yes, it doesn't get any hotter than her. As far as I'm concerned, she is the sexiest woman who ever lived, and though older and fatter, she still is sexy. Let's put aside her immense talent for a moment, and just go with her looks. (Which is probably difficult to separate for me, because she is one of my idols, and the talent is amazing. And she still has that TOTAL presence and rock star attitude. Quite honestly, when she looks directly at me, I feel faint... And her speaking voice? She has one of the sexiest speaking voices ever!) But yeah, OK, let's just go with the looks: Her best physical feature in my opinion? Those lips! They are the most sultry, beautifully shaped lips I've ever seen in my life. And they are still there, and still looking as sexy as ever. The shape of her face, the eybrow arch? Oh my God!

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Don't get me wrong LS, if I was in my 50's I'd probably think she was hot, but I'm in my 30's, so I think she's not

I agree, it's easier for men to age, and that's not fair, but I stand by my earlier statement. The hotter you are the bigger the fall.

I used to ADORE Patty Smyth, I thought she was the sexiest singer out there, but I'm sorry, today she is VERY plain. There's nothing wrong with that! It's not the wrapper that matters, it's what's inside.

It's not like I'm saying I'd want to dump Blondie if I were married to her because she got old, I'm just saying that ALL of us lose our looks when we get older. It's most noticable in those extremely pretty people.

I like how you stick up for these guys though! I think it's great that you see their inner beauty shining through whatever happens to their shell! That's the way it SHOULD be.

I will go with the hotter they are, the harder they fall statement. Sad but true.

Ugh, I should just kill myself now...

Very fittingly, this brings a song to mind - The Blondie song off of their "Eat To the Beat" album: "Die Young - Stay Pretty."

I guess that is why the tour is titled: The New Cars & Blondie: Road Rage Tour 2006

They are not headed for Philly. At least, not as of now.

Molly · The Mediator

I think we're getting back to the "Celebrities are people too" argument.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

You guys are in luck...Late Night Drive's core is still in tact

Date: Tue Mar 14 14:56 2006

As long as you do not charge us $87 to come and see you all!

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

My friends get a discount

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

What? We only have to pay $85?

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

No, Fuzzy, you get the VIP pass...on the house

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

You better not let your manager hear that. As a businesswoman, she will tell you that you will be eating into the profits if you give too many of those passes away.

Now, for a stalker like me, I will just meet you backstage.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Duly noted....might be time to beef up security..but .you will be allowed to "sneak" in if that makes you happy

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Are you implying that I couldn't just surface on my own.

What do you think I am taking the stalker lessons for?

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

You are taking them for nothing....you could just get the pass for free...either way I make no money, so why make it harder on yourself?

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Whatever happen to the thrill of the chase?

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Do you really want to leave me with nothing to hold on to?

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Sorry, my bad....stalk away....

When you hit Wisconsin, I am in the book if that helps

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

It does. Thanks.

I hope there isn't more than one Dylan Murphy in the book.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Depends on the book

Ruby · The Good Witch Of The South

I keep meaning to post this. I am surprised that Dave did not mention it.

NEW CARS' ELLIOT EASTON GOES IN FOR REPAIRS
NATIONAL ROAD RAGE TOUR TAKES A PIT STOP

Los Angeles, CA (June 12, 2006) – Elliot Easton, founding member and guitarist for The New Cars had surgery today for a broken left clavicle sustained during a near crash when their tour bus swerved to avoid a vehicle on Monday, June 5, while on the road for The New Cars Road Rage Tour 2006 with Blondie.

Determined to not miss any dates, Elliot continued to play. “I’ve been waiting 17 years for this tour,” Easton told his doctor when was getting his x-rays, although, due to the severity of the break Easton requires surgery.

Elliot is currently in New York under the care of Dr. Steven Yang following the procedure to repair the broken left clavicle with plate and screws as the bones are too far apart to mend properly without surgery. Without the surgery Elliot could have limited use of left shoulder.

Said Debbie Harry of Blondie, “It was amazing that after the accident Elliot played four more shows in a brace and in constant pain. He really tried his best to keep on playing so he should be given a great deal of credit for that. We all wish him a speedy recovery.”

Ticket holders should contact their point of purchase for more information.

Now in stores, The New Cars: It’s Alive, a live greatest hits compilation of classic Cars’ hits with three new studio tracks performed by The New Cars (Eleven Seven Music). The New Cars are original Cars’ members guitarist Elliot Easton and keyboardist Greg Hawkes, vocalist/guitarist Todd Rundgren, fellow Utopia bassist/vocalist Kasim Sulton and former Tubes drummer Prairie Prince.
