So for one that means Rick Astley has taken over for Kurt Cobain. Then there’s the whole thing of putting Rick Astley in a mosh pit environment (yes, it’s a mashup with a mosh pit). And then on top of everything else as I write this it has a perfect 5 star rating on YouTube…

For starters she hoola hoops through the whole thing and several times pretends she’s about to drop the hoop, but then recovers… Singing and hoola hooping can’t be easy…

But then there’s the outfit - a corset and a gstring, gloves and a mask. Gotta say, she looks incredible - especially for her age (61).

Just wish there were more people like her… Love her energy…
