Rumours (band)

[HomerMcvie]

So I just watched the Rumours tribute band on the Norwegian Breakaway cruise ship. They did Rumours in it's sequential entirety, plus Silver Bed Springs at the end. They were good, although they had 4 lead singers. Two guys and two girls. Seemed a little too Glee like in their beaming for the audience, and they were sometimes a tiny bit pitchy. And I kept trying to find evidence of tracks, but when you have 8 people on stage, it's hard to tell(Don't Stop had the high string note playing, the first half of the song, and he wasn't playing it, unless he was holding a sustain pedal the whole time). And the show was only 45 minutes. But hey, for the price I paid($0), it was well worth it. I'd go see them again, and pay, but not for 45 minutes. Especially with 4 singers. Stretch that bitch out!

Oh yeah, and when GYOW was ending, I began sobbing, and my shirt was wet with tears during Songbird.

Isn't that weird?

That is correct. I'm terrified of heights, and planes fall into that category with me. From the 18th floor of this vessel(sun deck, basketball courts, etc), I won't get near the edge, because looking down scares me. Looking at the horizon is fine, though.

Why should I be afraid of cruise ships? Titanic?

If they played Silver Girl on repeat, you'd jump over that edge real quick!

Suicide is far preferable to Sliver Girl.

Touchee....

BUT, I can tell you that these days, the companies and the ship's captain avoid bad weather like the plague. My cruise only happens Dec- April, because they go out of elsewhere during hurricane season. And we're actually missing our port today(Norwegian's private island, Harvest Caye) because even though it's a beautiful day, they say it's too windy to safely dock.

I'm strong as an ox. I've had the Covids twice, and was asymptomatic both times. I ain't a scared. Plus I got Covid and flu shots about 4 weeks ago, just because of the cruise.

I never knew Andrea Doria was a real ship. Just assumed it was made up for the Seinfeld episode.

Yes, it was an italian transatlantic. It sunk on July 1956 after colliding with MS Stockholm.

By the way, that Dream Woman song of French And Saunders. Is it an original song of that show? Who wrote it? Or is it a song with changed lyrics for the parody?

Always assumed it was written by the duo as a parody of Dreams and Rhiannon.
