Who’s The Boss? Meow!
Anyone care to guess here why I might not have expressed my grievance to the set list being a little short and stage time lacking, just a little, to Sir personally? That was EXACTLY the reply I feared. I love you, Sir…but you are a bitch! Lol And he started off so nicely, and bit…
