The M word and the F Word



This blog post has nothing to do with Kobe Bryant, but after last night he just damned well deserves to be up there. Kobe, the Mamba, the M-Word.

---------
Now, when Plot picked up his tickets for Spamalot at the Press Desk of the Golden Gate Theater the other night, they also gave him a Free Download Card for 15 downloads from the I-Tunes Store. He figured these would be the songs from Spamalot. It was a reasonable assumption, seeing as that was the show he was standing in the lobby about to see. Right?

But no. After a lengthy and complicated download process he is downloading a 'Broadway Compilation,' heaven help him, courtesy something called "The Broadway League." If he's lucky he will at least get "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life."

...NO! It's one or two songs from fifteen current or recent Broadway shows, none of which Plotnik has the slighest interest in. And NO Spamalot! JJ-AKA-PP, you may want Plottie to send this your way but first let him shriek WAAAAA I WANTED MONTY PYTHON SONGS WAAAAA I WANTED MONTY PYTHON SONGS NOT LEGALLY BLONDE, THE MUSICAL, OR XANADU OR WHITE CHRISTMAS!

Of course, Plotnik already HAS most Monty Python tunes, but still. It's the principle of the thing. It took a long time to download this crap. And he didn't get a copy of "You'll Never Succeed on Broadway (Without Any Jews)," one of Plotnik's very favorite musical moments of the last 2,000 years.

So look out, M-Word, here comes the F-Word, courtesy Plotnik's children: It's Not Fair! IT'S NOT Ffffffffair!!

I'd be happy to take that off your hands....and you worked so hard for it on my behalf! I truely appreciate it. IT was probably an attempt to advertise travel to NYC and Broadway AND a reminder that the TONY awards are next Sunday, June 7.....just in case you want to know where DCniecy and I will be......no, not in NYC, but on our sofas w/ phones on speed dial so that we can comment to each other at each commercial break....yes, really!!!

Laker Girl's Cheer? I just went to iTunes to see the Spamalot album ($12) and on the song list was the Laker Girl's Cheer. That can't be a good thing for a run in SF.
