This here's my weekly CRITICAL LIST (i.e. thing that are deemed "musts"):
* Like every other gay blogger out there, I, too, have a copy of Madonna's new album Confessions On A Dancefloor and am listening to it non-stop. Me likee. It is very Euro-Electro-Pop (think Kylie meets Ray of Light). "
Get Together" "Let It Will Be" is so far my favorite and will be played for the kids when I spin next... Even though I got this CD fo' free, I most definitely will be buying the non-stop mix version. Oh, and if you wanna see her performance on the MTV Europe Music Awards click here.
* Here's the scene: The President of the United States is reading a storybook to small children in Florida. Off to the side, the President's Chief of Staff is told that a major disaster has just happened. The Chief of Staff then goes to the President and whispers into the President's ear what has just happened. The President then immediately hands
the book to one of the children and asks the child to finish the story to the others. No, this is not a story of what Bush should have done on Sept. 11, 2001; it is what happens to President Mackenzie on ABC's newest hit series Commander In Chief. A small dig at our current administration, yes, but don't mistake that as the show's premise. This series (which is very well done) shows the problems and hardships a woman would have should she become our nation's President rather than how
corruptsimple it all seems for our current one. I, for one, have fallen back in love with Geena Davis and hope she gets nominated for an Emmy.
* Advanced word on the street is excellent for the new musical The Color Purple on Broadway. Four different sources have seen it and loved it -- two admitted to crying. This makes me very happy as it's one of my favorite books, it's my all-time favorite movie and I had my fingers crossed hoping it would translate well on stage. Luckily it did. I must admit I became a bit wary when Oprah suddenly put her name over the title when initial ticket sales weren't going well. Don't know why I did, but I should never underestimate Miss Winfrey -- she knows quality when she sees it. Apparently one of the show stoppers is, funnily enough, Sophia's song "Hell No" which is the response she gives when the mayor's wife asks if she'd like to work for her... You might wanna buy your tickets now.
* NOT CRITICAL: But Can They Sing? on VH1. No. They can't. AT ALL. This is just sad...
just as long as rosie o'donnell doesn't end up cast in color purple.
