ABOUT SOMETHING!!!
Also called "Rants and Raves!"
RANTS - RAVES
RIHANNA SAYS SHE'S INTERESTED IN PLAYING WHITNEY HOUSTON
GAVIN NEWSOM,
EX-MAYOR OF SANFRANCISCO and now Lieutenant governor is shooting for a weekly
show on Current TV. And him being sort of a Hollywood type guy he will be the
leading man on Current. Celebs wanna know --how much wax will it take to keep
each hair in place? I guess being The Prince of Sacramento is just not enough
for him.
So, here's the
deal. 49er fans that bought expensive prime seats ñ will find themselves
Seat-less -- when the team starts to kick the sh-t out of each other. To say
nothing about, the loving fans. Or will they love the team as much, when they
find out how much it will cost the fans to sit in the Palace of Santa Clara.
Hey, here’s an Idea. At intermission -- they can put on a Ballet. Wouldn’t that
be a kick in the balls?
ANOTHER
CIRCUS, is the crazy leaders of the Muni system. It’s just not fun enough as it
is. You know with all the non-payers and all the drug addicts, and smelly
passengers that drag tons of empty cans on the buses is just not entertaining
enough. No, it isn’t. So, now they have come up with an insane idea: Gee, lets
give all the youngsters free rides so they can harass and stir up more sh-t on
the Muni slow way. You know -- their motto is -- Lets go as slow as we can till
all the old ladies and old men die on the buses. Oh, I get it -- this is a road
show. I guess the Muni-Mgmt will turn the buses into a gross rolling stage. How
about The Barber of Seville? Since the kids will be on the bus there will be
double seating. The younger ones will sit on the laps of the older people. Sure
it’s a little uncomfortable, but so much fun for the little tikes. Now all
together, lets all sing an Aria from Aida. Enjoy the ride.
How many
congressmen take bribes? Celebs wanna know? The answer: A lot! -- says one
celeb. But then, money is better than pigeon droppings. Ooops -- some just
dropped on a baldhead. That’s O.K. There’s nothing in it.
OH! THE WICKED
STAGE
TERRANCE
MCNALLEY (Playwright) has written many really great plays. Now, he or someone
has come up with a documentary of his hit play Corpus Christi. It’s all about
Jesus being gay. But, hey that’s not the first time that people have begun to
think that. Nothing wrong with Jesus being Gay -- as long as he can heal
everyone. He’s not picky. Anyway, back to the Documentary. I saw a brief little
segment on the computer. From what I saw so far I was not terribly impressed. I
loved McNally’s play on the stage -- but talking about how and why it was put together
is more like listening to a furry faced Professor trying to tell us what it’s
all about. Hey there Prof -- Watcha got cooking? Oh nothing? That’s what I
thought. It will have a premiere showing at the Castro. I, the evil critic
wasn’t invited. And, I do so love the Castro Theatre. Tsk-Tsk!
RAVES!
NOW LETS WALK
DOWN THE PATH OF PARADISE, SIN AND THEATRE
NOW HERE’S A
START. SOMEONE NEEDS TO WRITE A PLAY ABOUT LADAMER PUTIN. Afterall, no one can
find his wife. She has mysteriously vanished. On second thought maybe a play
wouldn’t work. I think something stronger would be better like maybe La Boheme.
I can hear Putin, singing his sad Arias right now. Oh, how glorious! Yes, I’m
having a nightmare! And, I’m also crazy. But being a person of great charm and
considerable spirit, I will continue to bring new plays into your world.
AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE is another fantastic play, (The Aliens) which you should
see. The Annie Baker play is about a patio and some band-mates that hang out on
a cafÈ patio. Here is my quote: “It’s a tightly constructed terrific play. You
can find the complete reviews at beyondchron and also on “For All Events
-Critics World.” Hurry closes on May 5th. Watch for the next fantastic play at
the SF Playhouse. Always -- top-notch performers.
Last Chance to
see the intriguing ‘The Laramie
Project -10 Years Later’ -- at the New Conservatory Theatre. The show is about
murder, hope, anger and denial. Compelling!
When Rihanna was asked about her interest in playing the legendary singer in a possible biopic, she said. "I mean who wouldn't be...it's Whitney Houston!" Her breakout film "Battleship" already is making $100M overseas, saying. "Isn't that insane?!" The movie opens on May 18. - extratv.com
