So…….yeah, no review here unfortunately. There was a mild misunderstanding at the box office and the ticket that was meant for my writer wasn't there. The name wasn't on the list, but we still looked under the table, checked clipboards, the trash...
As my friend Ray recently said about Lemmy of Motörhead, some things do seem to “get better with age.” In this particular case, by “better” I mean “more creepy.” For most sexagenarian musicians, this would be a horrible fate....

At the end of every break-up, there is always that moment when, finally sick of drowning his sorrows, crying into his beer and generally feeling sorry for himself, a man – every man – will start trying desperately to find something to laugh about (even if...
