And so ends a night of fabulousness and not to mention nerdy geeky musical buffs!
Poison! Oh my best friend when I was around 12 used to listen to Every Rose Has Its Thorn DAILY. It was "our" song and a tad homoerotic I must say! I also downloaded a Dolly Parton greatest hits album a few days ago :)
ReplyDeleteWhat does Elton J have to do with Billy Elliot? Did he compose/sing songs for the actual musical?
