Music Monday – “Now you do what they told ya/Now you do what they told you/Now you do what they told you”

I came across Little Miss Nasty via a poster I saw in Vegas. Didn’t get to see their act this trip but really appreciate what they stand for and would love to see them at some point in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1GY1G3tdpo

Saturday Snap – I’m Rich! (Well, technically my mom is!) ;-)

Believe It Or Not, Drug Stores Are One of the Most Profitable Businesses on the Las Vegas Strip

I mean, when a margarita from a bar in a casino costs you $20 (plus tip!) and you can buy a canned margarita or beer that’s bigger than your head for $4.99 and drink it openly on the Strip since it’s legal to do so, (not to mention buying basic groceries, snacks, pop, souvenirs, etc. […]

Music Monday – “I’m free/It took me in my whole life/I got the keys to the cages/I’m ready for bright lights”

Wish I’d been able to see U2 at The Sphere (extra jealous talking to a coworker yesterday who said they’d been!) but YouTube videos will have to suffice… “Atomic City” – U2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2v0Wa2i4yM
