A Motley Morning


Once again I've shamed my husband with my lack of knowledge of Motley Crue -- "the best hair metal band ever" (James' words, not mine).

The shaming started about a week ago when i was watching Hollywood Ex-Wives on E! One woman was talking about her marriage to Vince Neil and i innocently asked: "Who is Vince Neil."

I thought he'd never pick his jaw off the floor. But he forgave me -- but i don't know if he's going to forgive me for this morning's question:

While driving to the gym, the radio hosts were doing their celebrity dish. One of the stories was about how Pamela Lee said she's over Tommy Lee and he travels all the time. I, once again, innocently asked: "Why does he travel so much. Is he in a band or something?"

James almost missed the parking spot.

"Is he in a band?!!! He's in Motley Crue!"

Oh no, i thought, i did it again. I should have stopped asking questions, but i proceeded:
"Really? Has he always been in Motley Crue?"

And then i got a little bit of history:

"Yes! Yes, he's always been in it. He was in before Vince Neil and after Vince Neil got fired and still in there when Vince Neil came back. Actually he's the one who got Vince Neil the job in Motley Crue."

I didn't have the guts to ask my final question: What does Tommy Lee do in Motley Crue.

I guess I'll never know...

You know I can play Home Sweet Home on the piano. Not that you know the song but James would appreciate it.

And I bet if you start calling James "Dr. Feelgood" in bed that he'll forgive you.

But if you do...please DONT tell us about it.

I hope by now you've googled to find out the most you can about motely crue.. in case you haven't.. Tommy Lee is the drummer, Vince Neil is the singer, Nikki Sixx is the bassist (he dates TLC's LA INK Kat Von D), Mick Mars is the guitarist. =)

I'm quickly memorizing the info in this post and in the comment section so I can wow my husband with my Motley Crue savvy. ;)

Just email me your hairband questions and I will help you out so you can dazzle your loved ones.

I freaked GF out when I shared all of my knowledge and the collection of R&B as well. She never thought a "rock dude" would know as much and more than her. Love that stuff!
