101 Things To Do With John Lodge

I did a similar post about Justin Hayward a few months ago. I figured it was time to do one with Lodgey. Inspired by the site, 101 things to do with Simon Le Bon. I'm such a bad girl!

1. Make sure he takes the leather trousers on the summer 2005 tour, and not the leather pocketed jeans.
2. Have him bring a case of Krisemma wine to share with you. Get him drunk and take advantage of him. (Don't tell Kirsten, lest she kicks your butt)
3. Remind him that sunglasses should be worn on your head and not around your neck.

4. Remind him that he wrote some really kick ass songs, and he should get to sing them on tour. (Read my lips Lodgey, Sitting At The Wheel)
5. Spank him when he tries to straighten his unrully curly locks.
6. Take him shopping for clothes, introduce him to a world of color.
7. Ask him where Natural Avenue is...and how can the world be walking on it?
8. Force him into the studio to record that album of "Western Cowboy" tunes.
9. Go golfing with him and when he putts, scream "Nice Ass, Lodgey"
10. Make him buy a respectable vehicle and not an SUV!

Hi-I just was searching for John's wine and found your 101 things to do with John Lodge. Great ideas!! If only we could get close enough for long enough to really -in our wildest dreams - try any of those suggestions! Oh well, dream on! I hope he had a chance to read it - he would probably get a kick out of it too!
