vince neil, i hardly knew ye
I planned on staying home today to do laundry, catch up on bills and finish some stuff I brought home from work. So far, at 4:00pm, I've accomplished none of these things. As I was drinking my tea and eating my bagel this morning, I flipped around on the telly as I normally do. I caught the tail end of Best Week Ever on VH-1 and lingered a bit. I swear I was going to get up immediately after that to begin my day of productivity. Then VH-1 Goes Inside: The Surreal Life came on. I never watched the show during its original run but this behind-the-scenes glimpse proved irresistible. Again, I had every intention of getting up from the couch to begin doing my chores. But then VH-1 busted out the entire first season! Fuck the checkbook, I needed to see Corey Feldman's meltdown. I had heard from others that he was hypersensitive and a total trainwreck. Uh yeah, they didn't exaggerate. He also sucks at softball, I might add.
What I didn't anticipate, however, is that I would be utterly charmed by Vince Neil by marathon's end. What a nice guy! I was never a big fan of Mötley Crüe so I didn't know if he had a good reputation or bad. I had just assumed that he'd have a 'tude. I inaccurately thought that Hammer, Webster, the other housemates -- and me -- would form an alliance against him. But Vince turned out to be a really sweet guy with a sense of humor about himself. He totally disarmed me and the rest of his housemates. So I joined in on the Corey hatin'. Oh boy, I think I may even have a wee crush on Vince. And I can't get "Dr. Feelgood" out of my head.
A new season of this show is starting and I think I'm going to have to watch it. There's one thing that concerns me... the presence of Charo. I have been scared of this woman since the 70s. My father was a big fan of variety shows but he had to change the channel when she came on because I'd cry at the sight of this sequined, guitar-toting, heavily-accented entertainer. But I'm going to suck it up and deal because the promise of a romance between fellow castmates Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen is too compelling to pass up. I'll just cover my eyes and hit mute when it seems like Charo's going to unleash a "Coochie! Coochie! Coochie!"
Speaking of things that frighten me, I just set my DVR to record the rest of the Growing Up Gotti episodes. That's all I'm going to say about it because um, well... I don't want to get whacked.
