Maybe my humor has gone a little far South this weekend. I did make 665 1/2 the Song of the Week and I wrote an article about Shitting Glitter, but this is a year of breaking free from self-imposed limitations so pooh on you.
I could not contain my laughter on Thursday night when I saw comedy troupe Eva Brontosaurus at DiPiazza's. They sang about STD's and excrement the way Donny and Marie sing about country and rock and roll.
Somehow they were able to stage it so that songs about diseases and body fluids were funny. I guess it starts with the choice of wardrobe.
I shot this photo before they went on stage, they were already making fun of themselves then. (Unfortunately, I didn't capture the shiny red patent leather pumps the singer was wearing, that was like the cherry on top of the hot fudge sundae).
Later, when they began singing love ballads about blood and urine and feces with perfectly serious faces, I began to bust out. Theatrically they are like a bad high school drama team. Think Molly Shannon as "Superstar" from Saturday Night Live.
