Rocktober Music Fest - 2019 - and Other October Oddities - Gold Dust Woman

Happy Halloween to all!  A couple of nights ago our dog, Benny, woke us up with his barking at about 3 in the morning.  When my husband went to check to see what the issue was, he saw a raccoon on our front porch.  He opened the door to shoo it away and found this:





Out in the yard I found this...



Guess the raccoon had a sweet tooth!

It was a really cute idea but given the propensity of raccoons in our little neighborhood, we chose not to bring visitors to anyone else's house at 3 AM!  (I did briefly consider putting it on the neighbors porches we are not particularly fond of - just kidding!)

For the last day of the Rocktober Music Fest I had to go with my girl, Stevie Nicks.  Gold Dust Woman is from the Rumor's album.  I think it is particularly fitting for today since toward the end of the song Stevie goes into a frenzied dance which looks kind of spooky. 







This is from Fleetwood Mac's show on December 3, 2014 at San Jose SAP Center.  The last few minutes you can really see Stevie gyrate around as if possessed.




Stevie has said that it is a "crackhead dance," acting out her memories of being under antipsychotic medication (from the book "Gold Dust Woman" by Stephen Davis - a great read if you are a Stevie Nicks fan). 

   

Once again a big thank you to Mary at JingleJangleJungle for hosting a really fun Rocktober Fest.  Hope everyone enjoyed playing along.  What fun can we come up with for November?
