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
Also, this? This right here? This is why I married this man.

Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.

- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

my 2 year old just watched this with me and said, in his most condescending tone, "are you done?" i think he was talking to jon. apparently i am not raising a frampton fan. :)

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

Lol!

The majesty of rock, the pageantry of roll.
I love you, baby!
6. mrs shortcake said:
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! :)
7. Sara said:
Blurb Comes Alive!
8. Jasie VanGesen said:
This just might be the best thing ever. He can't seem to pick just air guitar or drums... must... alternate!!
9. Daddy Scratches said:
Nice. Air guitar *and* air drums? Wow. Dude is a multi-faceted air musician.
10. Laura said:
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!
14. Laura Trevey said:
I used to LOVE Peter Frampton!!
15. Liz said:
He is the epitome of cool.
16. Beth said:
Oh, dear.
17. Natasha said:
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.
18. Christie said:
That is awesome!
@cshift3
19. Laura June said:
I'm sorry, and don't tell my fiance, but your husband is really flippin' hot.
20. Brooke said:
Awesome air guitar! However, apparently, the internet in Lithuania isn't a Frampton fan, because it took a million tries to load this video.
21. MyHormonesMadeMeDoIt said:
Jon has some awesome air guitar moves. He should take that one man band on the road...
22. kindelfind said:
Cute!
23. Finch said:
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'
24. Beth said:
Rock on, Jon!
25. Bea 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.
26. admin said:
We purchased Frampton Comes Alive from Amazon. LEGALLY. Guitar solos that good should be rewarded.
27. lara said:
He is ADORABLE. You done well, girl.
28. Steph TN said:
WOO awesome air guitar. He is shreddin it! lol
29. Kelly said:
i can see the appeal! lol!
30. amberstar said:
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.
31. Erin said:
This video kind of makes me have a crush on your husband.
32. Elizabeth said:
This is awesome!!! all that's missing is some leather! haha
33. Stevie Nicks Fan said:
OH YEAH surrender to the air guitar. Men who uncork their musical selves for the camera are sexay as can be. My boyfriend finally agreed to karaoke Tom Petty to my Stevie Nicks. He is a great singer but not too keen on taking the stage. Finally, we had our moment last night at my favorite karaoke joint, to which I announced into the mic at the end of the song, 'Thank you baby. Me love you long time'.
He wants to go again next week.
34. Becky said:
Let me just say that I have been singing "Do You Feel Like We Do" since I read your Frampton post. Ah, the late 70's...good times!
35. Alison said:
There is nothing better than rocking out with air instruments with the ones you love. My husband and I have spent hours "practicing" and "performing", its one of the top three reasons I love him so much!
36. erika said:
Yeah, I have one of those twelve year olds too...
37. Chris said:
ROCK ON! Jon.
ROCK. ON.

I can't believe how much he looks like Leta!
40. Megan Beth said:
Is that what he looked like in front of Frampton in the airport? NO WONDER FRAMPTON complimented on how adorable Marlo is.
41. Wondermommy said:
I can relate, although my air guitar choice is not Peter Frampton!
I can now see why you married him ;)
42. julie said:
1. That Jon let you put that on your site astounds me.
2. What do you think Frampton's reaction to "downloading" everything he's ever recorded will be? Copy left, or copy right? Hmm....
I've spent the past two days telling everyone, "You just have to check out the whole dooce/frampton exchange. Legendary!"
43. Jill Put Up A Blog said:
Drunk in the middle of the day? Unbelievable :) hehehe

The commitment is perfect. You've got yourself a keeper!
47. Sara said:
Every time you share your happy life, my life gets happier and happier. Thank you.
48. Meg said:
When I was little my dad used to play that song. I thought Frampton was actually making his guitar talk. I was mildly disappointed when I learned he used a talk box (and not the magic/super human skill I thought it was), but its still one of my favorite songs today. Its my go to song for rocking out in my car. So Peter, if you're reading this, I love you.
49. Boo said:
THAT made my Thursday...
50. Paula said:
I freaking love you guys.
51. Ashley said:
So I tried tivo-ing the Bonnie Hunt show today, but instead it recorded 30 minutes of Malcolm in the Middle and 30 minutes of an infomercial featuring Montell Williams. Bummer.
52. Linka72 said:
damn it all..I can't see the video..but I'm sure it was embarassing..YAY JOHN
53. Siobhan said:
I can see why you married him. A man that talented needs to be snatched up immediately. ;)
Jon, LOVE it dude. That shit was insane. Very few people get to relive their 12 year old selves for the entire world to see.
Although I will admit I would have preferred video of him doing that IN FRONT of Frampton.
54. Parsing Nonsense said:
GET DOWN WITH YO BAD SELF!!!
Little does Leta know that Peter Frampton TOTALLY put her parents on the map. Y'all were nobodies before, but now? Bust out the red carpet and the Cristal, is all I'm saying.
55. Elizabeth_K said:
Even a famous person like you is excited by a brush with fame! Good to know, good to know ..
56. Kara said:
Leta comes by it honestly!
57. Anna said:
You guys are so hilarious. Jon NEVER has his hair done. Love his talent. My guy does the same. Only he sings with so much passion to The Boss and Tom Waits. Bruce, I can handle, but Tom Waits, only sometimes! Love ya Dooce!

where did you buy that adorable skirt Chuck is wearing today?!
61. Kathleen @ ForgingAhead said:
Awesome!
62. tracy said:
I love that you & Jon are so free to be silly & goofy and just BE YOURSELVES. I won't even dance in my house if my husband's around. Watching Ellis dance is inspiring: at this point in her life, she is the epitome of "free". I'm trying to take a cue from her & let go a little. I don't want to be boring mom, I want to be fun mom!

I'm a Cheap Trick girl myself. I never did get much into Frampton. Guess I couldn't handle that he looked better in spandex than I did?
66. Tamara said:
Wow...THAT was awesome!
Jon kinda reminds me a llittle bit of Kevin Nealon there...and I mean that in the nicest possible way...soooooo funny!
67. Aron said:

hey, nice to see you on bonnie hunt this morning.
68. Wild To Child said:
Stunning...absolutely stunning.
69. Laurel said:
Your last post made me laugh until I had to blow my nose, and this is the perfect exclamation point. Why didn't you tell Frampton, on the plane, that YOU'RE NUMBER 26???
Jon is a good sport. Clearly not having issues with self-esteem, or his Kramer hair, for that matter.
70. brandy said:
He can air drum and guitar during the same song?? Now THAT is talent!
71. Jennifer M. said:
That's hot.
72. Kristin said:
WOW... he DOES look like Kramer!

I was right. Peter Frampton's Twitter followers have increased big time. I't possible you have given the man's career one helluva boost. :-)

I can no longer listen to Coldplay's - Viva la Vida without imagining Leta dancing around. Every time it's on the radio I imagine a cute kid dancing in her kitchen.

LOVED the video, or should I say vimeo.
So here's the deal. I have a bit of a Catch-22 where you're concerned. You have this busy, interesting life, in fact, it's getting so busy and interesting that you don't post as much. This is really difficult for me and my obsession for needing to read something new by Dooce EVERY.SINGLE.MOMENT. And in case you're wondering, why yes, it is all about me! So sometimes I secretly wish you weren't so busy, off doing wonderfully exciting things like teaching KK how to diaper a baby, or being humiliated by Peter Frampton on airplanes so you that you could write more and entertain me. Then it occured to me, if you're not doing all those crazy interesting things, what in the heck would you write about? Oh the irony...
93. Lynn said:
Could I make a request? I know it's not Frampton but I would LOVE to see Jon do BOHEMIEM RHAPSODY next :)

That's greatness. I'll have to upload the video I got yesterday of mine playing Beatles Rock Band with his friends (all above 37 years of age) until 10ish last night. So funny.

well done, heather, good choice of husband.
101. Kathryn said:
my 4th grade music teacher taught us this song to perform at our year-end recital - likely to legitimize his wanting to listen to it EVERY DAY and get paid - I am still amazed at the "human" sound the guitar makes

I hope the man I fall in love with is half as awesome as Jon. That'd still be a WHOLE lot of awesome.
103. krisuponastar said:
First, Leta looks just like him when she dances and second, if I wasn't already in love with an amazing air guitarist, I would be now!
104. rachel said:
I know this has nothing to do with this video, but what ever happened to the monthly newsletter that you did for so long??! I haven't seen it in the last few months!
I totally get if you're so swamped with the two girls- I just hope you didn't stop the tradition altogether! those are things to cherish!
105. Absolutely Small said:
Hee. I totally see where Leta gets her mad dancing skills. You guys are the most awesome family ever!
106. Caroline said:
As one who has seen Frampton three times... once at age 14 in upstate NY, once at age 25 in Connecticut (with David Bowie! omg), once at age 30-mumble at a little House of Blues show in Myrtle Beach... I feel like you do, Armstrongs. Love him oh, so very much. "Penny (For Your Thoughts)" is one of my all-time favorite instrumentals. I just wish he'd come to Hawai`i sometime soon... I would give almost anything right now for a big ole earful of Peter! (that sounded wrong, but oh well. I HAVE MY NEEDS.)

I wanna see the other 8 minutes.
108. Shelah said:
He is a cutie. I suggest you two appear together on David Lettermen. He would enjoy your sense of humor; it would give you another chance to meet and annoy a person in 1st class; and it would show The Bonnie Hunt show how a guest is treated.

Seriously. Awesome. When I was a senior in high school, I was busy...very, very busy. Working, saving money, and getting good grades so I could get the hell out of the small town I lived in. But I bought a copy of "Frampton Comes Alive" when it came out. I played it so much, it literally wore out, and I bought another.
A few years later, after his accident, I saw him when he had just begun touring again. He was thin, and scarred, and a bit tentative. Then he started to play and sing, and I was transported to another place. A place other than the small club in Sacramento, filled with only 40 people. That's it. Only 40 people bought tickets to see him play. It was wonderful.
Jon rocks.

I follow you on Twitter and the fact that you are now Twitter friends with Peter Frampton and provide posts for him is so many shades of awesome I cannot even begin...
Seriously. Way. Too. Amazing.

I meant the video of Jon playing air guitar, not the above post.
How about if you're neither an intense hater or an intense worshipper and you just thought it was funny because you happened to stumble by it par hasard and actually laughed, for once, at this time of morning.

Frampton has always just been kind of a novelty artist to me until now. Because of you I've been eating up all the great 70s YouTube clips and have begun to appreciate his enthusiasm he shows during his live performances and the fine artistry of all the songs. Thank you!
178. jessicat said:
how can you "haters" be such assholes??? seriously. if you guys/girls/psychos!! don't like the blog, then do us all a favor and DON'T.READ.IT. save your nastiness for somewhere else. heather is an awesome mom, but because she chooses to share the daily hilarity of her life with us, some of you thing it's ok to throw rocks. last time i checked, we all live in glass houses. so keep your fucking rocks to yourselves. and get a grip. and possibly some valium. geez. and really....did you seriously call her pig vomit?? my 5 year old could come up with a better name than that. how about you go to mylifesucksandiampsycho.com instead of here.

163... I feel sad for you that you are so miserable in life that you look for things that you don't enjoy... if you don't enjoy reading Dooce, then don't.. it's that simple. The funny thing is every time you log on to this site you are actually supporting Dooce. So, you lose. She wins. Get over yourself.
Can't wait to see the clip from the Bonnie Hunt show! I watched a little bit of what she put on her site. You looked so happy.. glad things are going well for you.

Madame X, why do you have to be so judgmental. People have different personalities and react to things differently. It's like when you go see a stand up comic. There's people who will be hilariously laughing with tears in their eyes and there's some who are just smiling and there's some that didn't get the joke or missed something. Maybe the person who didn't get that one joke will be hilariously laughing at the next one. It's all how that person relates to the joke. People should just chill out and just enjoy dooce and if not, move on.

I live in happy valley Utah & have to get the hell outta here every once in a while. A favorite spot? Lovely St. George. Don't know if you're a Tuahcan fan, but there's a Peter Frampton concert there on September 16th. (nothing like short notice, eh?) Just thought I'd pass the info along. :)
184. cassie marie said:
Oh my. That has to be your new header for October:
"Feeling the love of STROKERS since...."
Classic.
Love you. Keep entertaining us. Life would be dull without my daily Dooce.
Signed, a proud stroker ♥

Cassie Marie I totally agree with you on the October header!

Peter.... not Jon.
192. Joy said:
Can I just say that Marlo's fingers seem really long...I'll bet she turns out to be a concert pianist.
Actually, she's Heather's daughter, so she'll probably be TALENTED enough to be a concert pianist, but run off to live in a cabin by the beach with the love of her life who loves Peter Frampton music...
193. Barb said:
It's interesting that (according to the negative Nellies) just because you post a positive comment (is it just here, or anywhere, in their feeble minds?), you are a "stroker." I wonder if they actually ever approve of anything and give any positive feedback about anything, ever, anywhere. Like to their kids or their families, for example. But, no, no, how silly. That would be stroking their families' egos. They wouldn't do that.
But here's another thought... what about posting negative comments for a good purpose? If they have so much negative energy, and making negative comments makes them feel good about themselves and gives them a feeling of power, why not put that 'talent' to use for the purpose of good? Like, why don't you go to Britney Spears' site and post negative comments about her psychoticness and complete and utter lack of parenting ability, and why people kow-tow to her just because she made some records? Yeah. Wait. There's a whole list of famous people and sports stars you could post negative stuff about. Like people who commit DUIs and who take drugs and party and commit crimes. That would keep you busy for YEARS, and it would be more productive than posting negative comments here.
And, as everyone has pointed out, if this site is of no interest to you, then why are you so interested in it that you come back and keep posting? Kinda weird. Kinda sounds like maybe you should get some therapy of your own.

I just submitted a definition to Urban Dictionary for it! ha.
Stroker:
A fan of Dooce (aka: Heather Armstrong) that enjoys leaving very nice, positive comments on her website. Cause she rocks.
tags: stroker, dooce, heather armstrong, fans, peeps
195. Jon Is God said:
This prompts my first-ever comment. At least once during our annual chicks' weekend, a friend and I will crank up "Do You Feel" to 11 and airband all the way through ... much to the chagrin of our compatriots who have not had enough to drink. But we are not worthy. We are not worthy. Devil's horns to Jon.
196. Anonymous said:
Okay, don't ask me why but I just tortured myself and watched Dooce on Bonnie Hunt. WTF? That was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever seen! Dooce, you really need to stay off TV sweetie. You suck. That was just a really boring and uncomfortable segment! LOL You could tell Kourtney had no interest whatsoever - was someone holding a gun to her head off camera?

I saw Peter Frampton live, here in Las Vegas. I think I was 14 or 15, my parents had to drive me. LOL It was at the Las Vegas Convention Center, that's where we had concerts back then, not all these big venues like today. Such great memories, thanks for stirring them up.
I'm gonna put on Peter Frampton today and rock out while I clean house!
204. norm said:
Heh. I saw PF at the first big rock concert I ever went to. Think it was '76. Oakland. Also saw Santana and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Something for everyone. *chortle*

Cassie Marie I love that you entered that into the dictionary!!!! And have you noticed that the pansy asses who spew the acidic comments leave themselves as "anonymous" for the most part? Wow, how bold of them!!! And to the "anonymous" pansy ass that said that Heather needs to stay off tv because she sucks....have you been on TV lately? Didn't think so! Heather rocks out loud. so how bout you SUCK IT.
206. Peggy said:
I thought you were great on Bonnie Hunt although I wished that you had more time to talk. Bonnie should have skipped those trashy girls and just had you.
I was just reading some of the comments before me and wow Philly Chick is totally nuts! I still don't understand why someone takes the time to read and comment on a blog that they hate so much.
Don't read it if you don't like it. It's really just that simple.

Peter who? Just kidding.
More importantly, you had to show Kourtney Kardashian how to change a diaper? Seriously? If there are two groups of people that I am sick of and never want to hear about again in my life, it's the Gosselins and the Kardashians. Why are they famous? They must just really have a good publicist.

Okay, I tried. I watched the air guitar video again and really, come on people! This is just not even remotely funny. Okay, MAYBE if my husband did that I would get a chuckle out of him reliving his youth and being a goof, but honestly, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING about that video warrants the comments of you losers that follow Dooce! Come on. There is really nothing funny about it. Just some butt ugly guy acting like a fool in his kitchen. A chuckle from his wife? Maybe. All you other lemmings rolling on the floor laughing at the asshole? I don't think so! Stupid idiots!
223. Mommy's Blend said:
I love the posts that include your husband. I also love that you seem to enjoy spending time with him...
How? Seriously. HOW?
My husband was recently laid off. And if he doesn't find another job soon I think I may very well drive a pencil through his eye. He's driving me insane. I applaud you amazing woman who still has her sanity, well relatively, and still *likes* her stay at home husband.
224. Mommy's Blend said:
Oh, and just to those of you who hate on Dooce, you're still helping her earn money. Congrats! Do keep reading. I'm sure you totally offend her. If you haven't scared her off yet, you sure in hell won't do it now. Silly trolls <3 Gotta love 'em.

The summer of 1977, WOW, that summer was great, lots of pot, Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, the Gong Show, too much freaking fun and yes, lots of Frampton, Skynard, and Boz Skaggs. U had a "Let's Party" t-shirt. If only I could Time Travel.
226. Zina said:
Comment on non-comments-open photo: I've always heard that Utah Lake's murkiness has been caused not by steel-plant crap, but by crap's anagram, carp. Apparently some of Utah's Swiss immigrants thought that an imported fish would do well here, and the fish thrived, but it's a bottom-feeder that stirs up the muck on the bottom of the lake and keeps the lake grubby-looking. I've heard it was a beautiful lake before that. I suppose pollution has likely played its role, too, but I did hear the lake's biggest problems had a lot to do with the fish.
Once in a while I've heard of schemes to eradicate the fish and renew the lake, and I'd love to see it happen.
Okay, so a quick check shows Google agreeing with me--carp introduced in the 1880s have taken over the lake, destroying other species and keeping the lake muddy. And part of the federal stimulus money has been allocated to get the carp out. Pollution also plays a role in the lake's woes, particularly in the form of phosphorus (from soaps and detergents, etc.) There's also a danger that once the fish are gone the lake will have algae blooms, and if I'm not mistaken (I'd check but I think I've done enough Googling for one comment) algae blooms happen because sewer systems clean sewage of toxins but not of nutrients, and the over-nourishing of ocean or lake waters leads to an overabundance of algae growth.
Stimulus money for carp removal:

I don't hate dooce. I love her. I want to have what she has so bad. I wish for it every day that's why I'm always here. I have no friends because nobody wants to be near me. People say I smell like ass. Yeah I fart alot, pick my nose and play with myself but that's what my parents do. My parents are brother and sister and their parents are brother and sister too. I have no friends cuz' they say I stinks from all the shit in my pants but I like shitting on myself. Even my pretend friends left. I have oozing sores on my face because I like to pick at them. Have to go now because the police are here again.

Um...I'm just going to say it. I'm sorry you had to share a stage with that scary monster, and I'm not talking about Bonnie or Kourtney. Kourtney seems sweet enough, if a bit dim. But the other one has...let's just say if I was a hippy, I'd say she has realllly bad energy. No matter how much she tries to smile, the ickiness seeps through. I can't imagine someone wanting to watch her on tv regularly..

Seriously, people. Get a fucking grip. Jesus would be repulses to see you on your hands and knees, licking dooce's taint and worshipping her as your false idol. Get a life so you can find something better to do in your spare time than sniff Heather's sweaty jock strap.

My husband is 57 and STILL air guitars himself around the world. He does it in the CAR, in the living room and probably in the shower. I have grown to tolerate it OK but the video brings it all home to me. Men never grow up. I was 17 in 1977, and didn't listen to music. I guess I missed out on alot at least according to Chuck (my hubby) and Jon.

Your husband's guitar and drum solo has potential. I think he should take that show on the road... maybe to the local supermarket. Aisle 7 on a Friday night? I'd buy tix.
