More Neil Finn / The Wiggles

As I mentioned in this post, I recently learned who Neil Finn was. Well, I was flipping through the TV stations late on Saturday night, and all of a sudden I spot Neil Finn. "Hey, I know that guy!", I said to myself. "That's Neil Finn, and those guys on stage with him must be the rest of Crowded House."

So, I watched about 30 minutes of a Crowded House concert on TV that night. Two things I noticed:

1) I recognized all of the songs they played. However, before watching those 30 minutes of the concert, I wouldn't have known that half the songs were Crowded House songs.

2) I could tell it was a recent concert, because Neil Finn looked about as old as he did in the Google images I looked at back in March. However, he didn't actually look old while he was singing. He seemed old when he was just talking to the crowd between songs, but as soon as he started singing, he seemed about 15 years younger.

Speaking of Australian bands, I will soon be a Wiggle for a day ( or at least for about 30 minutes or so ). On June 14th, we are having Peter's 4th birthday party ( he turns 4 on June 12th ). Peter loves the Wiggles, so Ruth and I have convinced 3 of my friends to do a Wiggles act with me at his birthday party ( Of course, we'll all be wearing shirts with the proper Wiggles colors ). I'm going to play the role of Greg ( yellow shirt ), so I'll be doing most of the singing. Assuming this isn't a complete disaster ( and probably even if it is ) photos and videos will follow.

Regardless of how disastery it might turn out to be, we expect photos AND a video (or snippets at least!).

Happy Birthday to Peter!
