the hfH mG attended was definitely not the short,
cultural-center version held on 011206. oh, no.
this
was the full-on rockin, never-stoppin,
spin-the-dreidle-till-yr-droppin bash-and-a-half.
we
loved it. we left early.
well, you know, the set list coulda used a big
ol' red
pen both for acts and pieces per. monika "she
used to
rock" kendrick with her t.s. eliot maybe shoulda
picked something from her pre-wiccan,
slap-my-ass-and-call-me-hilde past rather than
wannabe
pagan footnote spoken word.1 and if you can't manage to stay
within
the theme, bring your own backup singers, a la
cin
salach. who cares what you're talking about? we
get to
sing along! (well sort of)
but all cynicism aside, this show had everything
we
could've asked for including curly-haired cuties,
dunkin donuts, and goin all the way with god ("i
heard
you like to get freaky with jews / i figure it's
my
turn / i've paid my dues" - eric roth and the
silver
shmatas). yes and there were lots of shining
stars (of
david) on the stage. our favorites include
supergroup
tuffet with members from kim, etc., the
aforementioned
eric and band with an original and inspiring
brand of
jewish rap ("he's only a rabbi"), the
always-entertaining greg g. (the g is for
gentile), and
let's not forget alley-shopping the shame (hot
'burban
bootie that rocks if you plug your ears with
their
tight tight tube tops). the title of most
versitile
performer goes to chuck of, among so many other
projects, the young fathers. they're the guys in
the
tiger tees.
and of course, we couldn't have asked for better
hosts
than john "where's my hair?" greenfield and
ellen
rosner, who both performed some kick ass rock as
well
as keeping things in order. ms. rosner is a
beautiful
woman in every sense, with a beautiful voice to
match.
at this very moment we are picking out our
outfits to
see her perform at girl bar this thurs. do not
miss.
1poets:
when
reading to crowded bars at one am, maybe go less
thesis
paper and more like—hell, erotica will do! (e.g. greg
gillam's discovery of the steamy second verse of
the
dreidle song)
