Whatever the opposite of ‘deeply religious’ is

I am that

But even with all the God-Jesus-church-amen and hallelujahs going on in this clip

I still love it

It made me smile

And without trying to sound all Oprah-y

It made my heart sing a wee bit

Don’t panic

I’ll be back to the dick jokes before you know it

 

Our week in Japan for MateRock went so fast, and was full-on times a bazillion. I didn’t get time to blog on the trip, because I was lazy and drunk a lot so I’m going to break it down over a few blogs, before I forget everything…

The crowd wasn’t at capacity yet

But once Dad walked on stage

People came from all over

Out of the bars, restaurants – wherever they were

I don’t think they could quite believe that they were seeing Kevin Bloody Wilson

Live

IN JAPAN?

Dad got Dave Gleeson out for a quick duet

They did a rockin’ version of Islands In The Stream Rootin’ In The Back Of The Ute

The crowd loved it

But not half as much Dad & Dave did

Those two fell about as much in love as two hetrosexual boob loving boys can

Want to know how to keep the crowd busy whilst setting up in between bands?

Half naked Brazillian dancers

Wiggling their bits

And wobbling their womanhood all over the place

We shared a dressing room

And it was enough to drive a normal girl to drink

So I did

And yes, they REALLY were all *Brazillian* down tharr

 

I didn’t ride in this balloon ’cause I’m chicken shit

The line was long

And I was already in line for the schochu every 15 minutes

Priorities, peeps

The The Angels played a smoking set

With Dave Gleeson as their lead singer

Who, by the way,  completely kicks arse and brings new life to the band

Dude is a complete nutter on stage

I fucking loved it

Almost as much as Mum & Dad

Who were totally rocking out down the front, singing to “Am I Ever Gona See Your Face Again”

The Aussies reading would know their line, right?

NO WAY GET FUCKED, FUCK OFF!

But wait, there’s more…but not right now ’cause it’s 4am & I’ve got to help Diamond put up the Halloween decorations. As you do.

We had a great weekend of shows

Sold out, amazing crowds

We also got to catch up with some great mates

You remember Tom?

If you’re not  familiar with his story

You can read about him here

 

Before his wife Kylie passed away

She had been promising to take her younger brother to one of our shows

But he had to wait until he turned 18

Kirrin, who looks so much like Kylie, turned 18 just before his big sister died

So he never got the chance to see a show with her

But Tom made sure his little brother-in-law didn’t miss out

The boys had special t-shirts (dedicated to Kylie) made up just for the night

Instead of coming with a big group of mates

They opted to just come to the show together

And brought along photos from every time we’d all caught up in the past

There were some laughs and a few tears

Dad and I made sure we did Kylie’s favourite songs in the show

‘Cause we know she was there somewhere

Do you guys remember a while ago when I told you about our friends Tom & Kylie?

If you don’t, please CLICK HERE to read their story

Because it really is a beautiful story

A love story

About what love is really about

How even though it can be heartbreaking and cruel

True love is always unconditional

If you know Tom & Kylie, you know that’s the kind of love they have

Kylie had surgery recently

Initially she came out of it OK

But then she wasn’t

Kylie was taken off life support on Saturday March 26th

She was 25 years old

“…She was so very, very special
And was so from the start
You held her in your arms
But mainly in your heart

And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
Her life did ripples make
And touched the lives of all.”

Rest in peace beautiful girl.
