Summer of 1977
You can probably guess that we've done nothing the last two days but download and listen to everything Peter Frampton has ever recorded (legally, from Amazon). And step aside Coldplay, Frampton is now the new kitchen dancing music, although Leta has had to ask Jon to turn it down, Dad, more than once. Here is Jon doing his best interpretation of his twelve-year-old self at the end of "Do You Feel Like We Do." Keep in mind, there is a whole seven or eight minutes of this that I could have uploaded, but I'm kind enough not to put you through all of that.
Also, this? This right here? This is why I married this man.

Where did he learn the air guitar? He rocks it.

The majesty of rock, the pageantry of roll.
I love you, baby!

I love it! My husband has similar moves - including an air guitar solo which involves grabbing my leg and pretending it's the guitar in question. Awkward, but I love it! :)

This just might be the best thing ever. He can't seem to pick just air guitar or drums... must... alternate!!

Nice. Air guitar *and* air drums? Wow. Dude is a multi-faceted air musician.

Wow. It reminds me of what my boyfriend will look like in 10 years. Hah!

Amazing!
And as "Amazing" I mean "Funny Shit"!

Of course, you mean *purchase*, download and listen to, right? ;)

I can see where Leta got her mad dance skills from! Way to rock it out Jon!

I used to LOVE Peter Frampton!!

He is the epitome of cool.

Oh, dear.

It was one of my favourite stories of yours. I knew Peter's music but not his name. My husband though, who's 45 (I'm 29), knew Peter's name right away and enjoyed the story. Very, very cool.
And Jon is adorable as always.

I'm sorry, and don't tell my fiance, but your husband is really flippin' hot.

Awesome air guitar! However, apparently, the internet in Lithuania isn't a Frampton fan, because it took a million tries to load this video.

Jon has some awesome air guitar moves. He should take that one man band on the road...

Cute!

You looked great on Bonnie Hunt! Also, the looks on the faces of the Kardashians was HILARIOUS when you said "It's like a staple gun to your breast."
I admit, kinda disappointed you didn't say 'boob'
09.10.09 - 10:55 AM / 23Beth said:
Rock on, Jon!
09.10.09 - 10:56 AM / 24Bea said:
Hahaha, you two. I think this is the moment where you've officially become Those Parents. You know the ones where you think you're the coolest ever--because you *are* the coolest ever, and you think your kids just don't get it yet. Yeah, that's you. I kind of love it.

We purchased Frampton Comes Alive from Amazon. LEGALLY. Guitar solos that good should be rewarded.

Great performance and I just finished watching you on Bonnie Hunt! You were very sensible, funny, and poised. I feel like a groupie for some weird reason. Anyway, congratulations on a fine interview. You were classy, too.
