Hey kids. I don't know
about you, but I'm glad it's Thursday. Here's #WhatsHappening.
Okay, I think we're going
to have a theme night at Saturday Night Karaoke on January 9. So,
what should it be?
- 50s Night/Sock Hop
- Pajama Party
- Tailgate Party
- International Night
Drop me a line and let me
know.
Further proof that I must have been a horrible person in a previous life and karma is punishing me: There's a Jimmy Buffett musical in the works.
The production is expected
to premiere in 2017.
“The idea of turning
Margaritaville into a musical has been percolating for quite a while,
but finding the right people to tell the right kind of story to go
with the right songs from my catalogue took some time,” Buffett
said in a statement about the musical. “Now we have found our crew
and I am happy to sail with them to Margaritaville. It's going to be
a fun voyage.”
Producers said the show
will feature an original story by writers Greg Garcia and Mike
O'Malley. Unfortunately, the songs won't be particularly original
since they all sound the same.

Don't forget to join us
this weekend for another face-rocking edition of Saturday NightKaraoke, live and loud at The Iron Horse Tavern from 10pm-1am.
A federal jury in Virginia
delivered a $25 million verdict in favor of BMG Rights Management over Cox Communications today. The case tested an ISP's
responsibilities for the copyright infringing actions of its users.
The trial was set in
motion after a U.S. District Judge denied summary judgment for Cox-
ruling that Cox's failure to implement a repeat-infringer policy
meant it couldn't have safe harbor under the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act.
BMG brought the lawsuit
after its agent found Cox to be less than cooperative in attempts to
send demand letters to individual pirates.
Director Thomas Kail and
set designer David Korins announced yesterday that their presentation
of Grease: Live on Fox will
be staged in front of a studio audience.
The two said the audience
would be “in the multiple hundreds” and will populate Rydell High
and other locations featured in the musical.
The incorporation of a
studio audience, they said, will give the event a “fresh, and
potentially more risky, angle to distinguish it from NBC's live
broadcasts of The Sound of Music, Peter Pan and The Wiz.”
“It's been pretty
remarkable to feel how vibrant and fresh the material continues to
be,” Kail said. “We settled on this idea that we could try to
create and use and harness the energy of a live audience.”
Birthdays today include:
Taylor York of Paramore; Craig “DJ Homicide” Bullock of Sugar
Ray; Sarah Dallin of Bananarama; Mike Mills of R.E.M.; Paul Rodgers
of Bad Company; Art Neville of Neville Brothers. #MusicalBirthdays
