My Top 5 Obsessions This Week
Greetings to all my semi constant readers and welcome to anyone new. There is a bounty of new things to do and watch and here are are some of my faves.
1) Curb Your Enthusiasm is back with a whole new season of crazy. From foisting off his assistant , bribing an usher at a funeral and helping Funkhouser and the other guys with relationship advice. Cheryl Hines makes a few appearances,which makes me happy and we get to see Susie Essman and J.B. Smoove do what they do best, steal scenes.
2) Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is already in its second season in BBC America but it is not yet a household name , and it should be! Featuring Elijah Wood and Samuel Barnett as Dirk Gently in this genre bending series. A fever dream of a show with sharp witty dialogue and fast paced Based on the novels of Douglas Adams this features an unkillible assassin and a holistic detective and a host of wacky characters.
3) Sparks brought the roof down at The Chapel recently with their special wacky theatrical brand of music , thrilling old and new fans alike. Opening with What the Hell is it This Time, When do I get to sing “My Way”, Dick Around, Edith Piaf (Said It Better Than Me) and an old favorite Number 1 in Heaven. I think their unique talent warrants a best of tour and soon!
4) B-52s on Halloween at The Fillmore! The stars aligned that night to produce a magical event. Kate, Cindy and Fred decked out in Halloween attire rocked a packed house. Rock Lobster, Mesopotamia, 52 Girls, Love Shack and Funplex plus a slew of hits kept the costumed crowd on their feet and a bedeviled Kate and tricked up Cindy harmonized their way into everyone’s heart.
5) Margaret Cho Fresh Off The Bloat at The Castro Theater was in top form .Never more beautiful or funny she entertained an adoring crowd with her raunchy brand of humor. She regaled the audience with tales of growing up in San Francisco and her mother. The one thing about Cho is she has such a wealth of material she can riff off anything.
