  1. Hey Schmucko -- saw Randy Rainbow live tonight (you know -- one of the advantages in living in a non-hick outback like you do).

    He was great with one caveat. At this point I can't find anything amusing about the Trump era, even when its being satirized. I just can't. Rainbow's show felt like watching a real life version of CABARET; the Nazis are coming and this guy is in a night club singing show tunes. (PS: Rainbow would be fantastic in the Joel Grey part if they ever revive CABARET on Broadway)

    1. You know you just degraded all of Randy Rainbow's videos, the majority of his well-earned claim to fame? How hilarious is it for someone who worships the gods of Hollywood and the recording industry to diss the artistic experience of listening to and watching stuff that isn't performed live.
      Cabaret. Really. Another friggin' revival of that is what you think a creative genius like Randy Rainbow is good for? Doing a bogus Joel Grey imitation? I have more faith in the boy's ability. He should write his own show, not one of those regurgitate, Broadway retreads that they put up because Broadway is too expensive and dependent on roping in the suckers from the tourist trade who want them some musicals but don't want to try anything they haven't heard before.
      That's one of the things I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE about radio drama, it's cheap enough so that they are constantly producing plays and work I've never heard before from authors I've never heard of before with actors I'll never hear or see anyplace else. Some of us love to try new stuff and learn new things, others like to wallow in their own past. I've never been much for wallowing. Maybe that's why you still haven't outgrown Duncan's place. I expect Hecate will soon drop it, Persistent Bunny, too. I wonder if Gromit's outgrown it yet, even Gomez did.

  2. His show was him singing along with pre-recorded videos.

    You really have no clue how real life, real art and real show biz work, you simple shithead.

    1. I know that you're downgrading my experience of his work with is solely through his Youtube videos as somehow inferior to your great achievement of paying for a ticket and sitting in a audience. It's all about bragging rights for you, isn't it, Simps.
