Okay, I take some heat for being very open with my critical feedback. I have often stated, without equivocation, when I think a particular event has "jumped the shark" or just become a drag. Few can accuse me of blowing smoke up the proverbial ass (yes, there is a proverb about ass- look it up). In some cases, you would think I had spanked Baby Jesus from the reactions I get.

Far fewer people take note when I offer praise or have something complimentary to say, as I do today.

If you haven't been, you really need to go see Trainwreck. It's a devilishly inventive idea put forth by a certain Mr. Sparks. It generates chaos and laughter. It's as Discordian as it gets. The concept is simple: take a herd of disc jockeys and give each one 15 minutes of fame to make an impression on the crowd. Not only does this generate maximum variety, it causes a DJ who usually spins records for hours to distill his or her sonic presentation into a quintessential earful. It can hit you like a diamond bullet to the pineal gland in some cases.

So check it out Friday night at the Green Elephant. Only costs five bucks, so WTF?
