The campaign to Bring Diana Ross to Simsbury is counting down her 70 greatest moments in honor of her 70th birthday!

Diana has played at several venues in Connecticut including the wonderful free outdoor concert she did for the Greenwich kid's youth center in 2003, I think the European fans should get to see her long before she plays another Connecticut venue.Quote:

It must be a stinging rebuke! I think this is where we go "he he" LOL.
Happy birthday to the ultimate supreme !!!!!
Well, Aretha turned 72 so I don't think that qualifies as a "milestone" year. We also got to see some nice pics from her birthday celebration in New York.Quote:

For example, I remember seeing a lot of gospel sites feting Aretha on her last big birthday and this year, we're seeing Diana's 70th show up on fashion blogs and sites. Diana also seems to have Hollywood/Film shout outs going on today as well as the LGBT online presence.
Great work here. We know how much time and love you put into it! Thanks so much!!!Quote:

Thank you Lulu! It was a lot of work, but it was a labor of love! :DQuote:

Was that from The laurie Beachum show? I was gonna try to stay for it, but had to get back home to work. Joan is hilarious live.
The RLF will get Joan for that.
They really needn't. Joan's a hoot at 81 and constantly making self- deprecating jokes about her own age. Of course, plenty of cranky queens felt the need to drop a few digs at Diana's expense in response to Joan!Quote:

As Lulu said.. she does a lot of self deprecating humor. It's nice to see Diana getting so much recognition in honor of her birthday!
Anyone who has seen Joan's show knows that she'll say ANYTHING about ANYONE. IF Miss Ross was needing help up, it wouldn't be OK with me, but she's rockin it so, I thought it was clever enough to be in her act. She does these gigs a lot at the last minute in Manhattan and she is a scream. We laughed so hard, our sides ached and our hearts went pitter-pat.
She should talk. That old broad is about 100 now. Her face is only 57Quote:

I'll also add that dumb ass Desi Arnaz Jr. [[BF of Liza at the time) presented that award and "forgot" to read Diana's name as one of the nominees. When he opened the envelope he realized he screwed up and called Diana "Deeanna Ross" and then again screwed up her name when he read her name as the winner. Fool.Quote:

I was a student at Cal Berkeley in the 70's when the SLA was running around. A pack of fools. But scary as hell. I actually used to see Patrica Hearst around campus and around town. She seemed like a nice kid. Didn't come across as a snotty rich girl. She seemed very in love with Steven Weed. My boyfriend [[and future husband) lived on Benevue Ave in Berkeley the same street where Patty and Steve lived. When I would stay over at his place [[brazen hussy that I was) we would sometimes see them walking around. The whole vibe of that area and at school changed when she was kidnapped. Sorry to go off topic. Being the kid on the block I hope I don't get sent to detention.
Yes, I would compare the RLF to the SLA or the Weather Underground, or the IRA.Quote:
