*From Arun Aguiar. (vjp) +++++++++++++ * *Just Sharing:*
A scalper I know (as a p/t West Coast actor) was in the line for Al Pacino in Merchant of Venice at Central Park when I walked by at 2 am, and he excitedly told everyone around him, "Man, you should have been at Arlene's Grocery a couple of weeks ago" when Avatar (me) did that Rage Against the Machine song -- what is it called? .. .. And to me: "I don't know if you know: All 200 people in the house were singing along all through the entire song; and everyone who wasn't, def joined in in the last 2 minutes!" I dunno if it was such a good idea to do the song: I'd never tried it before, and afterwards I lost my voice for about 10 days. But when the word got to some of the homeless and other guys in the front of the Merchant of Venice line, they moved me and my found cane-wicker Picasso banjo-like chair up from where I was nearby to POSITION NUMBER ONE, & protected it/ me in position as I walked around and about and went for coffee etc etc etc for extended periods until the Public Theatre guards escorted the line into the Park at 6 am as usual [walking away from your spot in the line in the street outside the park, except for a fast bathroom break, usually not-OK] :-) Raise the volume if you listen below, but Please don't try this song in the shower -- it will be hazardous to your health & poss shatter yr windows! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkuOAY-S6OY *-- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I'm running 4 the Board of WBAI Radio Station **www.stream.Wbai.org*<http://www.stream.wbai.org/> * 99.5 fm -- NY member of the **www.Pacifica.org* <http://www.pacifica.org/> *network.
