Well, Rod Stewart did - someone should have told him he was dreaming.
There's something a bit off-putting about ageing rock stars, film stars, businessmen and politicians trying to look sexy and cool.
Last night I saw Leonard Cohen and his supporting musicians and it was the sexiest show I've ever seen.
Cohen is 75 years old. I loved my Dad who died at 80 but I never saw him as sexy.
Cohen and the beautifully balanced, silky smooth and honey sweet music from and behind him was very sexy. Right from the beginning the warm sound, underpinned by some superb bass lines (yes Bass!)and structural percussion created a platform for the other great musicians to (in an understated way) put in highlights.
Once again I thought it was sexy and some of the geezers up on stage were even older than me.
This show was a classic and I hope that a really good DVD comes from the tour. It was possibly the best I've ever seen.
The wine? Really, the music was so great that who cared about the wine. just as well I guess as the offerings at the Vector Arena are very disappointing. It is a Fosters contract so punters have to drink Carlton beers and Matua and Shingle Peak wines. Nothing wrong with Matua top wines but these are not on offer. (Aotea Centre have a Pernod Ricard contract and they offer some of the top Montana wines).We had Shingle Peak Chardonnay which was overpriced and ordinary.

I'm surprised that some pregnant woman didn't give you a beer! Did the show remind you of Brokeback Mountain?
