American Idiot
by Billie Joe Armstrong, Michael Mayer
and Green Day
I don’t quite know what to write about this one as I don’t think they gave me enough in the 9o minutes to really critique it—-as a piece of Musical Theatre, that is.
Is it loud? Yes. Is the dancing ‘gritty’? Yes. Did they punk out the musicians and put them on stage? Yes. Is there a cool, multi-media set? Yes. Did they cast just enough ‘non-perfectly-beautiful-people’ in amongst the ‘beautiful people’ for it to make you feel like there are ‘real people’ up there? Yes. But all in all, it didn’t feel like a show.

Labor Day Weekend! The very words put me in a frenzied have-to-get-in-all-the-tastes-of-summer mode—before it (summer, and warm weather, and backyard volleyball, and BBQ-ing ) is all too soon gone.
So this Labor Day, the menu was Barbecued Pork Ribs (naturally), Coleslaw and Macaroni and Cheese. But not just any ordinary Mac-n-Cheese: Bacon, Leek and Horseradish Mac and Cheese!

Not church-lady bingo where you play for money…ok, pennies…but bingo for prizes. Prizes appropriate for her crowd….which could be anything from a new comb to a king size candy bar to the jackpot prize of a $5 gift card for McDonald’s.
That’s right: McDonald’s! So you can see why she wants to be in-it-to-win-it! *smile*
