That's the only way to describe the No Doubt concert. Gwen's abs make me want to weep considering I too have birthed two children and she's only 2 1/2 years younger than me. During ND's encore the opening band Paramore came on stage and they all performed a cover of the Adam & the Ants song "Stand and Deliver". Oh how I loved Adam and 1981. I partied like a rock star tonight and I don't care if Sassy and her friend were embarrassed or not. Guess who has "Stand and Deliver" on their iPod so knows all the words and rocked it on the way home? Uh huh, I still got it (in some circles anyway).
Other favorite songs from 1981:

Endless Love by Diana Ross & Lionel Richie (for the movie of the same name with Brooke Shields and Tom Cruise)
