STD again

For those who complain I never come to your town: I may not make it, but my current love god, Nerdcore Rappist Schaffer the Dark Lord (the Cole Porter of NerdRap), is kicking off a tour next week that includes Cleveland, Iowa City, Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago . . . . Check out the complete schedule - and listen to some of his songs - here. If South Park makes you scream with glee, you'll love him. (Have I confessed my adoration of SP here yet? Delia's theory that Cartman is really a Falstaff figure aside, I just love the fury and the wit. Yeah, they don't nail it everytime - I've had to turn it off on occasion 'cause it's just stupid & gross, but at its best it functions like a homeopathic remedy for my own neverending rage. [Oops - is there a way to lock this post against people who love Sound & Spirit?] And the words "Gimme t'ree fi'ty - It was the Loch Ness Monsta!" never fail to convulse me. Same goes for The Rappist. And don't miss his Supervillain: "Carry on with your heroic monologue, you silly bastard / I won't hear a word over my own demonic laughter..."!)
