The Wheel and Axle

Then again, don’t we all? (I’d like an Aladdin, too.)

Two of my favorite people. One car. Singing. Music. Laughs. Gossip. ‘Nuff said.

I already paid tribute to my idol, Jim Morrison, on the anniversary of his passing a few months ago. A lot has been said about why this man was (and remains to be) legendary, and he will always be a true icon of music and literature, as a member of The Doors and as an individual.

I can already hear the bells.

Hairspray Live! goes on the air today, 7th December. Well, technically, tomorrow, Dec. 7th for the US (time zones and all that). Regardless, I’m ready.

And I don’t even have ovaries.

I’ve always known Jeremy Jordan has made a bit of a name on Broadway and was even on Smash (which I loved), but I never realized he was this awesome.

The Divine Miss M is 71 years old today, and boy do we love her!

She remains one of the most iconic singers, actresses, and comediennes in the history of the planet. Even at her age, she remains a fabulous presence on social media, unafraid of funny social commentary when crazy politicians and other colorful asses make fools of themselves or do nasty things.

My favorite musical makes a comeback in a different way on December 7th (US time), proving that you truly can never ever stop the beat.

Shake and shimmy, baby!

Simply the best.

Can you believe it?

She’s 77 today!

That voice!

The fab hair!

Those legs!

A prouder Mary, she couldn’t possibly be.

She’s indeed simply the best!

And we wouldn’t have her any other way.

Happy birthday, Tina Turner!

Keep rolling!

Well, if we base it on Wikipedia or IMDB, not much in the last few years.

Too bad. I do think she was perfectly cast (a complete newbie) in the movie adaptation of what is perhaps my favorite musical, Hairspray. She’s since had a few appearances here and there, and I read that she’s also performed on cruise ships, but over-all I guess her career had never really taken off.

She’s a talented singer, though to be fair she’s a so-so actress, and perhaps that’s the reason for her lukewarm career. Then again, she seems trainable; perhaps she could’ve tried Broadway?

In any case, I do hope she’s out there, somewhere, still singing.

Happy birthday, Tracy Turnblad!

To wash the ugly taste of the 2016 Fox remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show out of my violated mouth, I had to rewatch some of my favorites from the original film version.

Enjoy Rocky Horror as it was meant to be enjoyed, darlings: vodka, not milk.
