Dylan's Crystal Ball: I help Karma. My name is Dylan!

My transition back to my former life as a gay playboy hasn’t been as simple as the fictious story on April Fool’s Day made it seem. Since Anthony went to jail, I haven’t found God. Frankly, for all I know religion is a bunch of bullshit. I can’t imagine that there really is a higher power with the ability to wiggle his or her nose making things happen. It sounds a little too much like “I Dream of Jeanie” to be believable.

When you’ve been dealt the hand I carry around daily, its hard to believe that a higher power is looking over me. If they, then this higher power is one sick fucker! Then again, the higher power might be punishing me for my actions in the past.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sure I would trade my life for anything. However, I’m lucky I’m alive with my upbringing. I’m certainly shocked I’m not more revengeful.

We see her story through the eyes of a cynical leftist named Che.

Cabaret Review: Clint Holmes

Chita Rivera (who was sitting in front of me at the Cafe Carlyle Tuesday night) loves Clint Holmes singing songs by Cole Porter and Paul Simon! She was hooting, hollering and jiving! And so was I! The first time I saw Clint Holmes, I had a passing familiarity with his 1973 hit “Playground in My Mind”. I was very pleased to find, seeing his first New York cabaret show “Remembering Bobby Short” at the Carlyle last year, that Holmes combines a rich, warm truly muscular voice with casual elegance.

Theatre Review: "Magic/Bird"

Playwright Eric Simonson has a real gift for bringing out the human side of sports stories. His 2010 play Lombardi let us in on legendary Green Bay Packers football coach Vince Lombardi’s deep, sincere affection for both the game and his players. Now, his Magic/Bird follows one of the fiercest rivalries in sports history, sprawling over decades as Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Larry Bird, two of the all-time great basketball players, battle for championships, MVP awards, and dominance of their sport.
