A Crush - or all things Scottish formerly known as LFYBs

So my friend Beth and I have started a tradition of getting together on Saturdays and having lunch then shopping. We keep trying to see a movie, but either the times don't work or one of us has seen what the other wants too.
Each trip involves someone playing a cd.
Yesterday Beth was playing the Killers.
I am a sucker for an accent, and these boys have Scottish accents and of course dress up when they play. Making me remember my obsession w/Duran Duran. The difference these boys rock out.
I have found lately I wish I was about 10 yrs younger - I would become a groupie.
Hee hee...
I would love to be written about in Rolling Stone or Spin. Following these bands around pining...
I had mentioned this to my Mom in an earlier phone conversation and she was shocked. Not shocked in a "that is gross way." More quizzical. My Mom ever blunt. "Well when you worked at the radio station you could have behaved that way." Yes, Yes I could have.
I have a laundry list of bands0 that I met that when I told my friends, they were jealous and I guess these bands were considered hot. But, I am not always one of those in the moment kind of people. Also, when I am around those people. I am pretty oblivious to the obvious. For example Robin the drummer of Bush. Asked me out. I thought he was making conversation until their third trip to Madison and asked one of my coworkers where I was. (Looking for my kitten who had ran away). Or being kissed by Paul the drummer from Moby. Or holding hands w/Moby as we walked to find a bar to have drinks at. The doors where there, I just didn't open them.
Because deep down I am a good girl.
So really I don't want to be any of that. But I am going to keep on lusting.
Besides the thing I learned that was the hardest for me. It's a rare rocker who is as cool as his on stage persona. I have only met a few who are even cooler. Moby, Lenny Kravitz, Del Amitri.
So today I will go buy the Killers cd, and on my way to work tomorrow morning do a little daydreaming. And think about what could have been.
