This one's just for fun, really. Nothing much political about it. And look, it's... Not so much NSFW, as it is... I wouldn't watch it with your partner in the room, put it that way, lol...
It is just so... Probably one of the sexiest rock performances ever, if not the sexiest. Even with this video quality...
It's... Erotic dance meets former 80s pop star meets excellent musicianship meets... Probably one of the most beautiful women ever.
So... About Susanna Hoffs, because why not?
Lead singer of the Bangles, obviously, but this is by the time she has gone solo.
The Bangles broke up for a couple of decades, but they're back now. Susanna is, I think, 63, but doesn't look a day over 40, which is... Disconcerting, to say the least. I wasn't even alive when they filmed this, let alone when the Bangles were massive and she was one of the "rock chicks of the decade", and yet this absolute babe just doesn't seem to age, lol...
Guess why the Bangles (partly) broke up, in the first place? Apparently Susanna was so hot that the camera would always follow her around, and all the attention was on her, so the other band members, including a friggin' likely lesbian (I don't think she ever publicly came out), got jealous. Amazing. But I mean, just watch Walk Like An Egyptian. It's... There on camera. The eyes, man. The eyes...
But they're back now, minus the lesbian, lol.
Amusingly, she's married to Jay Roach (lucky bastard), who directed the Meet the... series, and friggin' Austin Powers. But cooler than that, the only reason Austin Powers exists is because Mike Myers was already in a 60s joke band with Hoffs (Ming Tea), which you see in the movies, and he invented the character, for that band... He then convinced Roach, Hoff's husband to direct and produce the movie, and voilà, Austin Powers!!
She also has a signature 12-string Rickenbacker guitar which is worth like... 3 grand (US), custom built, which I think you can order a copy of. Tuned in tribute to the Beatles. Because of course...
Pretty good guitarist tho.
Two more fun bits. Prince (yeah, that Prince) wrote "Manic Monday", which is like, the Bangles' second biggest song, specifically to attempt to get in Hoffs' pants. Apparently she took the song, then rejected the shit out of him, and friendzoned the uhh, poor guy. Amusingly.
And for their biggest song, "Eternal Flame", apparently she was sort of dared/pranked to record the vocals in the nude, in the studio. To "sound better". As you do... Apparently that also contributed to breaking up the band, because it then became their biggest hit, lol.
Anyway, just... What an absolute babe, and rock goddess, lol.
Time for a cold shower, I think. Ha.
It's the eye thing. And the smile. And the dancing. Like, fuck. Chick is just... Sexiness personified, pretty much.
Seeing as you obviously know more about this than moi, do you think she would have already “met” Roach when this was filmed, then..??
Because it is so… Unrestrainedly sexual, that she was obviously, uhh, either feeling the need, or very, very into someone, when she did it. Hence why it’s such an iconic performance, lol.
Like, there’s “stage presence”, and then there’s “I could have been an erotic dancer”. This is the latter.
I cannot imagine how he must have felt, if he was there watching!
Hahaha well, this made me laugh, I’ll give you that much.
I do know, at least factually, that she came from an extremely privileged background. So much so, that it literally would be almost impossible for someone from where I live (state, not country) to be so privileged…
Which I find… Offputting. But it explains a bit.
She’s like, elite of the elite. And was from birth.
So while… You’re completely wrong, at least on some bits, you are right that some aspects of it all are a bit… Unusual.
And yes, Micki looked a bit like a dude (I disagree on the other two, though. I’m very confident they, uhh, aren’t, lol), but that would mean that The Runaways (of Joan Jett fame) were also dudes, lol.
Would that fit your worldview, if it were the case?? 😂
Edit: you know more about aspects of this than me, so I defer to you on Roach and the arranged marriage and the like. And possibly Prince.
But honestly, she’s like, some… Rock goddess. I too, would probably be willing to… Inauthentically change my religion to be able to tap that every day, lol.
Like, it’s like some Medieval princess or something. There just aren’t… That many women out there like her. Maybe that’s a good thing, in some sense..?
Hahaha I did wonder if that would happen, honestly...
It's... Definitely sexual, and it verges on erotic dance (which was my point, no?), but then... That would make, like, any major hip hop music video porn, wouldn't it??
There's no way in hell this is on the same level of "sex on stage" as WAP, anyway, and I'm very grateful that isn't the case, of course!
Not critiquing you in any way, here. I just find it hilarious that someone reported it for that (probably as a troll, or maybe it was one of our resident antisemites)...
Thanks mate. Genuinely. I think this post, and my comments, should indicate that I’ve… Mellowed somewhat, in my two month or so sabbatical. I do not think I would take shit quite so personally, or seriously, now…
Though the raving anti-semite below..?
Yeah, I really haven’t missed that.
But… It is what it is.
I suppose it’s better that people have a forum to say horrible shit, than not.
And I’ve heard similar stuff in real life, lol.
Who knows?
I’m secure enough in myself, now, that I just don’t really care any more about the rabid shit people say, here or anywhere else.
Well, you always seemed fairly easy-going to me. But you got quite upset over the Ukraine thing, particularly over what you believed people here thought (and maybe some small fraction actually did), so I'm glad you're OK.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the psycho Jew-haters either, which is why I always preferred the subreddit - but I don't have any choice anymore.
I should add that the band members in that clip went on to form a bunch of iconic 90s bands, but no one really paid attention to that. Just look at how the camera is on her dancing almost the whole guitar solo, lol...
Also, here's Susanna performing a Tom Petty tribute like 18 months ago (recorded by her husband, apparently), because, y'know, the perfect woman doesn't exist, right?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AEDHNDBjPE
She honestly must have a friggin' picture of Dorian Gray equivalent hidden somewhere, because hot damn, how does she not age..??
Honestly Dom (cheers for this, by the way, lol), I find this whole comment thread, with the two, umm, people-who-don't-like-Jews, let's say, kind of sad, ha...
I mean, I expected the downvotes (I guess?), but man, people really do... Say the wildest shit here, sometimes, lol. Which is to be expected, but still.
Though the other antisemite, who was also a Bangles fan (who then deleted all his comments), was pretty fun, I must admit. That must have been a weird time for him, to say the least!
I would say “no u”, but I’m fairly confident that’s… Not really acceptable.
Look, whatever, dude. She’s extremely pretty, and I like what she does. I don’t care whether she is Jewish or not. I just don’t care.
The fact that you came here to spout this suggests that you do, and while that’s kind of sad, I, against my best instinct perhaps, respect your right to say unpleasant shit. Because that’s what free speech means.
Insult me and attack/belittle me all you want. It makes no difference to anything.
And it’s probably better that you spout this shit online, in a forum like this, than waste anyone’s time and brainpower in person, anyway. 💁🏻
You’re pathetic. I insulted you? No, I clearly didn’t. You picked up the baton of righteous jewish indignation and attempted to strike me with it.
Did I insult Susanna Hoffs? Since when is identification of a fact an insult? When and where did I open a confrontation? If you dont care that she is a jew, why did you react?
You attacked my comment. My comment did not attack you. You lie so completely, that you cannot even recognize your own hypocrisy.
Fuck, I love this woman (in a weird, celebrity crush way. Obviously not seriously): https://archive.ph/4UHJ3
Interview from last year, about her love of early Pink Floyd and The Beatles, amongst other things...
Just... Damn. There you go.
I've seen Belinda Carlisle live, which I was admittedly embarrassed about at the time, lol. Not Hoffs though, sadly...

Nice! I approve, ha.
Maddy Prior is an amazing soprano.

“This one's just for fun, really.”
If you can’t have fun while saving the universe, what’s the point of saving it?
Seeing as you obviously know more about this than moi, do you think she would have already “met” Roach when this was filmed, then..??

Post Reported for: Rule 5 - Pornography
Post Approved: It's obviously not porn. It's okay to have feeling, fren.
Hahaha I did wonder if that would happen, honestly...

Glad you're still here, despite your disagreements with some of the people here.

Keep on keeping on, hey?

Ah, found the antisemite...
Cool story bro. rolls eyes
For the love of fucking god, get a grip.

Seek help.
To be fair, I would probably have been equally “indignant” if you called her a “nigger lover”, or something (re Prince, I suppose), too…
But this is entertaining, I admit. Go off, king! 😂
Some of this is probably valid (if not the dudes in drag bit. They really aren’t, lol).
Not sure about the arranged marriage bit, though…
It’s possible, but she just doesn’t seem… That kind of girl, lol.
Like, she had a reputation in the 80s, of sleeping around in order to get things, including a) songs, and b) other shit, like studio time…
That just… Doesn’t sound like someone who would accept an arranged marriage, to me. But you never know.
Not saying it’s a good thing. Just that I agree on the “spoiled little rich girl”, but not necessarily the rest.
Still, either way, I would totally have gone there, and honestly, probably still would.
Same with, eh, Sheryl Crowe and Emmylou. But notably probably not, say, Brooke Shields or Kelly Lebrock (from “Weird Science”), for example, lol…
Music keeps you young, apparently…
