Comedians Through Time

Stand-up comedy is one the purest forms of artistic expression that has been developed. Every good comedian has their own unique voice and style of doing comedy. The best way to understand the history of stand-up is to look at the people that built it. Stand-up has been around since 1861, when Artemus Ward gave his first comedic lecture at Lawrence Hall in New London, Connecticut. If someone…

Mas y Manos - More Rodney/Duster + César

Rodney gets known in certain parts of El Primero for being the beanpole hick giant who will get into bar and street fights with pretty much anyone who gets in his face or challenges him. Maybe it's not a great rep to have, even if he's known for winning those fights. But it does garner the attention and interest of some organizations.

César really really wants him to join the Calaveras. Rodney, who keeps to himself mostly, isn't exactly jumping at the opportunity.

Chess at The Muny

(no read more breaks I’m too old for that nonsense)

So it’s not a secret that I love Chess. Florence Vassy is my all-time favorite musical theater female lead. Chess is my favorite musical. I’m so in love with the music, I love the doomed romance of Florence and Anatoly. And some of my favorite musical theater loves (Carolee Carmello, Helen Sjöholm) have played Florence.

I traveled to St. Louis on Friday to see the show Saturday night. I ended up getting a last minute ticket to see the show again Sunday night (because I have no chill and because I’m so in love).

The show was FUCKING AMAZING.

Apart from a few cut verses and altering song order, Chess at The Muny was very similar to the West End / 2008 Royal Albert Hall layout. It was a fully staged show, not a concert, and it was brilliant.

What I absolutely loved was the almost complete absence of a book. Chess has always struggled with a good, solid book, but I really don’t think it needs one. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus make some of the greatest music in the world - let that music come through. With Tim Rice’s lyrics (and Björn’s assistance - Tim did not write those lyrics on his own) the show is best performed in a rock opera style.

The Muny knew and understood this. Dialogue was brief - some spoken instead of where it had been sung in other versions, some dialogue inserted in just the right place to get the point across - but nothing that relied on a book to move the show forward. It doesn’t need it.

The venue is gorgeous for an outside amphitheater. The stage included a revolving checkered square with stairs and risers. There was a huge screen at the back and two thin screens on either side of the stage. Those were utilized so well - the thin screens showed the hand fidgeting and coughing, etc during Chess #1, while the main screen showed the actual match. There were minimal set pieces - wooden boxes on wheels to be used as chairs / airplane seats / furniture.

The cast was just amazing. Phillip Johnson Richardson plays The Arbiter, balancing the no-nonsense role with the dance moves and swagger that the part requires.

Tally Sessions plays a wicked Molokov, pulling strings and not pulling punches. Rodney Hicks is a perfect Walter de Courcey.

Jarrod Spector was Freddie, playing the petulant man-baby with some legit childhood trauma. His Pity the Child was wonderful - the right amount of self-loathing and pity and bitterness and anger, without being too sympathetic.

Taylor Louderman was Svetlana. I’ll admit that seeing her Saturday night was a little underwhelming for me - I didn’t think she shined as much as I wanted her to with Someone Else’s Story, but she got me with I Know Him So Well, and I thought her performance Sunday night overall was better than Saturday. The back and forth with I Know Him So Well brought things back for me.

John Riddle was Anatoly. I knew nothing of him going into the show. He absolutely blew me away. Where I Want to Be was powerful. Anthem was gut wrenching and gorgeous. And I’m very jealous of him for getting to kiss Jessica Vosk the way he did during the show.

And Jessica Vosk…Jessica Vosk. I knew little about her before the cast was announced, and then I had to go searching for her to vet my Florence. Because Florence is so precious to me, so important.

I knew Florence was in good hands with Jessica when I heard her recorded Nobody’s Side on her album Wild and Free. I was not disappointed this weekend. Jessica Vosk as Florence was EVERYTHING I wanted her to be, especially for my first time seeing Chess live.

Jessica’s Florence was jaded and professional and intrigued by Anatoly and touch-starved and bitter and angry and Nobody’s Side had just enough longing and punch in it.

They shortened the song - cut out the last verse after “never waste a hot afternoon” which meant they cut the long “don’t forget the best will go wrong” rift which is my favorite. But there’s a break earlier which gave JV an impressive vocal rift there - similar to what’s on her recorded Nobody’s Side.

I will always be partial to the Swedish staging of Nobody’s Side - because who doesn’t want angry/hurt Florence drinking and grinding with strangers in a nightclub - but it doesn’t fit in this production. And there’s something special about Helen Sjöholm being the only one to perform that staging - because HS is a dream and I am very gay.

The chemistry between Vosk and Riddle made me all smiling and tingly, and they had two almost-kisses and then a very long intense kiss and the romantic sap in me was very happy.

I also absolutely LOVED having a young Florence and her father in some flashbacks - in Budapest is Rising, in Florence Quits (I believe they were there - it’s getting a bit muddled in my mind). But multiple times where we see a young Florence run across the stage, or being carried by her father, or their separation. Oh it was so good.

The ending and You and I always gets me emotional. Again - Jessica Vosk portrays Florence with all the heartbreak and emotion I need. The repeated “losing my man and getting nothing in return” made me cry, and then I was sobbing during the Epilogue.

THIS is the version of Chess that should be revived on Broadway. It’s perfect as a rock opera. Keep it that way. Add in a little bit of dialogue if absolutely needed. We don’t need the self-defacing humor of the newest Danny Strong book. We don’t need the CIA, or fake Gregor, or sympathetic Molokov. This staging is perfect. This is what I want to see on Broadway.

I wish I could have seen the show 100 times. I’m extremely fortunate and grateful that I saw it twice. And that I got my program signed by Jessica Vosk - so now I’ve got signatures from three different actresses playing Florence.

There’s TikTok videos of pieces of the show floating around. I’d love to get my hands on a proper boot of the show. My phone battery is shit so it wasn’t gonna be me.

It was gorgeous and amazing and thrilling and everything I wanted and I hope to see more of it soon. With a good cast like this, worthy of taking on these roles.

How do y'all pronounce the word "Italian"?? I'm have alot of older customers ask for Italian dressing by very deliberately say EYEtalian and putting emphasis on the "eye" sound? Alot of them who say it that way, also use a snooty tone too

I’m probably going to get hate for saying this but, the only people I’ve ever met that pronounce it like that are hicks. My mom used to do it because she thought it was funny. And yes she was a hick. A hick from Baltimore, but a hick all the same.

For this month of March i have chosen running backs as the Titans position group to look back on and we’ve had some good ones.

No other team over the past quarter century has had more dominance at the running back position like the Tennessee Titans.

Their three best runners have all done some big things in their careers.

Eddie George never missed a game in his career and gained over 10,000 career yards.

In seven out of eight seasons he went over 1000 yards and once went over 1500 yards in 2000 on 403 carries.

Chris Johnson gained over 2,000 yards in 2009 and still holds the NFL record for most yards gained from scrimmage in a season.

Derrick Henry also had a 2,000 yard season along with having five straight seasons with a TD run over 70 yards.

Besides these three running backs the Titans have had some other talented runners on their roster over the years including Rodney Thomas,Lorenzo Neal,Skip Hicks,Chris Brown,Troy Fleming,Robert Holcombe,Antowain Smith,Travis Henry,LenDale White,Shonn Greene,Antonio Andrews,Demarco Murray,D'Onta Foreman,etc.

Lorenzo Neal played two seasons in Tennessee in 1999 and 2000 and was the best blocker Eddie George had in his career with Titans.

Skip Hicks played one year for the Titans in 2001

Eddie George though was the Titans best running back from 1999 through 2003 a five year period where Tennessee won more games than any team in the NFL going to the postseason four times playing in two AFC championship Games and a Super Bowl....

Chris Brown played five years from 2003 through 2007 but only had one 1000 yard seasons rushing which came in 2004.

Travis Henry played two seasons for the Titans and had over 1000 yards rushing in 2006 which included a 70 yard TD run against Philly.

One of the most surprising draft picks was in 2008 when the Titans picked Chris Johnson one year after picking another RB Chris Henry in the second round and although they didn't get much out of Henry the Titans weren't nervous at all about picking another RB with a high draft pick.

Johnson was drafted by the Titans with the 24th pick in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft and at that time had just ran a 4.24 at the combine which made him the fastest player in NFL history.

In his very first preseason game everyone got a glimpse of what was in store for the future as Johnson had a 66 yard TD run against the St. Louis Rams.

For 2008 Johnson had 1,228 yards rushing and led the Titans to a 13-3 record which was the best in the NFL that year.

Then came all the record setting plays and games.

CJ broke Marshall Faulk’s record for most yardage from scrimmage in a season when he gained a total of 2,509 yards total and it is still an NFL record today.

CJ also became the first and only player to rush for over 2,000 yards and also have over 500 yards receiving in the same season.

Chris Johnson then ran for 50+ yards, 60+ yards and 90+ yards all in one game in 2009.

In that 2009 week two game against the Texans he had a 57-yard TD run, a 69-yard TD reception, and a 91-yard TD run and became the only player in NFL history with a touchdown of 50 yards, 60 yards, and 90 yards in one game.

He then ran 80+ yards in three different games in 2009 another new NFL record as that was the most 80+ yard plays ever by a RB in one season.

CJ also has a total of 6 runs over 80+ yards another NFL record no other NFL running back has that many in a career.

Johnson was also the first RB in NFL history with 6 consecutive games of 125+ rushing yards and a 5.0+ yards per carry average

He was the NFL rushing leader in 2009 and also was voted the NFL Offensive Player of the Year as well.

To start the 2010 NFL season, the Titans took on the Raiders in Tennessee and CJ scored on a 76-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

Johnson finished with 142 yards on 27 carries with a yard per carry average of 5.3 yards to bring his streak of 100-yard rushing games to 12.

Overall, he finished the 2010 season with 1,364 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns.

CJ was voted to his third straight NFL Pro Bowl after the 2010 season.

On September 1, 2011 Johnson became the highest paid running back in the NFL, agreeing to a four-year, $53.5 million contract extension, including $30 million guaranteed, with the Titans.

For the 2011 season he finished with 1,047 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.

Against Buffalo in 2012 CJ ran for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns on only 18 carries. With an 83-yard touchdown run, Johnson broke an NFL record with his fourth rushing touchdown of 80 yards or more.

The Titans won the game 35-34 over the Bills and afterwards CJ’s shoes were sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

A few weeks later against the Chicago Bears CJ ran for an 80-yard touchdown, extending his record with his fifth 80-yard touchdowns. He finished with 16 carries for 141 yards.

In week 15 on Monday Night Football Johnson had a franchise-record 94-yard touchdown run, the longest of his career and the second longest in Monday Night Football history. He finished with 122 yards on 21 carries. The Titans beat the Jets 14-10.

The 94 yard TD run was CJ’s sixth career run over 80 yards which was another NFL record and also it was the second time he had 3 TD runs over 80 yards in a season which was another NFL record.

For his career CJ had four TD runs over 85 yards another NFL record.

Overall, he finished the 2012 season with 1,243 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.

Johnson’s last year with Tennessee in 2013 he had 1,077 yards rushing.

From 2008 through 2013 CJ had six straight seasons where he rushed for over 1,000 yards.

After CJ was let go the Titans had a couple lean seasons at the RB position but in 2016 the new GM Jon Robinson signed Demarco Murray in free agency and drafted Derrick Henry in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Murray did really well the two seasons he played in Tennessee running the ball 477 carries with 1946 yards and 15 TDs averaging 4 yards per carry.

Murray's longest run in 2016 was a 75 yard TD run on the Titans first offensive play from scrimmage against the Packers in a game where Tennessee blew Green Bay out 47-25.

The next season Murray again did well with his longest run being a 75 yard TD run.

Henry’s first two seasons he split carries with RB Demarco Murray.

NFL teams were weary of picking running backs from Bama becuse many of them didn’t pan out which is why Henry lasted as long as he did before getting picked but those teams would eventually regret not picking Henry.

On October 16, 2017, on Monday Night Football was when Henry truly started to make his presence felt as he ran for a then career-best 131 yards on 19 carries, including a 72-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter of the 36–22 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

On December 3, 2017, Henry ran for 109 yards on 11 carries and beat his longest rush of the year with a 75-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter of the 24–13 victory over the Houston Texans.

In the Titans final regular season game against the Jaguars in Nashville, Henry caught his first receiving touchdown on a 66-yard reception in a 15–10 victory that helped Tennessee clinch a playoff spot.

DeMarco Murray was out with a knee injury for the Titans playoff game at Kansas City, Henry got the start.

In a 22–21 road victory, Henry had the best performance of his career up to that point, rushing for 156 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries and catching two passes for 35 yards. His 191 yards-from-scrimmage was a franchise record.

Murray was let go after the 2017 season and another RB Dion Lewis was signed to split carries with Henry for the 2018 season.

On December 6 2018 in a home game against the Jaguars Henry exploded for a 238 yard rushing performance along with 4 TDs.

In the second quarter of the game against the Jaguars, Henry had a 99-yard touchdown run, fending off three tacklers, giving him the longest TD run in NFL history and tying him with former Cowboys RB Tony Dorsett who is the only other player to have a 99 yard TD run which took place in January 1983 against Minnesota.

The 238 yards rushing was a new franchise record breaking the 228 yards Chris Johnson had set in 2009.

Henry also became the ninth player in NFL history to record a 200+ yard and 4+ touchdown game, and the first to do so on fewer than 22 carries.

His 238 rushing yards were the most by any player for a single game for the 2018 season. Henry was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Henry finished the 2018 season with 1,059 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.

During a home game against the Jaguars in Week 12 of the 2019 season, Henry had a 74-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter.

Overall, he finished the 42–20 victory with 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

During the regular-season finale at Houston against the Texans Henry finished with 211 rushing yards and three touchdowns as the Titans won 35–14 and made it to the playoffs as a Wild Card team.

Henry was the NFL leading rusher in 2019 with 1,540 yards and 16 touchdowns.

The Titans would travel to New England to play the Patriots in the wild card round of the playoffs.

Henry rushed for over 100 yards and a touchdown in the first half, finishing with 182 yards (the most ever against a Bill Belichick coached team, and the third most ever in a postseason road game) and a 22-yard reception in a 20–13 road victory over the Patriots.

Henry became the first rushing champion with a 100-yard playoff game since Terrell Davis in 1998, the first to win a playoff game since LaDanian Tomlinson in 2007, and the second Titan with multiple post-season 100+ rushing games. He also broke his own franchise record for most yards-from-scrimmage with 204.

During the divisional round against Baltimore, Henry rushed 30 times for 195 yards and threw a three-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Corey Davis in the 28–12 road victory.

Henry became the second player in NFL history with three postseason games with at least 150 rushing yards, joining Terrell Davis, who had four. In addition, he became the only player with at least 175 rushing yards in consecutive games. Davis is the only other with two such games in a career.

In the AFC Championship against Kansas City he rushed 19 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in the 35–24 road loss.

Henry signed a new four-year $50 million contract with Tennessee before the 2020 season.

In a 2020 Week Six home game against the Texans Henry finished with 212 rushing yards, 52 receiving yards, and two touchdowns (including a 94-yard rushing touchdown). In overtime, he finished the game with a five-yard touchdown to end the game as the Titans won 42–36.

Henry finished 2020 with 2,027 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns and for the second year in a row lead the NFL in rushing.

Henry was also named the 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

During Week Two of the 2021 season at Seattle Henry finished with 182 rushing yards, 55 receiving yards, and three rushing touchdowns as the Titans won 33–30 in overtime. Henry earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 2.

In Week 6, Henry ran for 143 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-31 win over the Bills, earning his second AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor of the year which included a 76 yard TD run.

Henry set an NFL record as every year from 2017 through 2021 for five straight seasons he had a TD run of 74 yards or longer.

During a Week 8 win at Indy Henry suffered an injury a Jones fracture that would end up sidelining him for the remainder of the regular season.

Henry finished 2021 with 937 yards rushing and 10 TDs.

Henry was activated off injured reserve on January 21, 2022, for the team’s divisional round playoff game against Cincinnati.

In his return, Henry had 20 carries for 62 yards along with a rushing touchdown in the Titans’ 19–16 loss.

In a week eight victory at Houston Henry broke Eddie George’s record for total TDs when he scored his 75th touchdown when he scored from one yard out.

For his career so far he has 8335 yards rushing and 78 TDs rushing.

any cast members of RENT, from any cast you've seen or heard, who you think are seriously under appreciated?

Omg yes. From the OBC: Rodney Hicks, he was an ensemble member, and he does just as much LGBT+ advocacy work as Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz and other bigger names do. Also, let’s not forget Gwen Stewart, who freaking INVENTED that high Seasons of Love note - like, Jonathan didn’t write that in. She sang that note on the spot and it was the HIGHEST IN THE SONG. ALSO. Fredi Walker. Please. She played Joanne just-more appreciation for Fredi Walker I love her. Take Me Or Leave Me was written with her and Idina’s voices in mine.

When I saw RENT with the 20th Anniversary Tour Cast in 2019, Alex Lugo was my Mimi! She was a really good Mimi. And an understudy! Like....DRV is still my favorite Mimi but I feel like Alex was the only one to live up to her. (Don’t get me wrong, I love Renée, but how can anyone compare to Daphne?)

Also literally any non-English cast. Seriously. Go look up videos for Spanish/Korean/German/Russian RENT and you will NOT be disappointed. (Though Russian’s a harder translation to find...also Estonian sadly.)

I love the idiots in this hick town. They think they can tell what we have in stock from just driving by and completely ignore the fact that we have a greenhouse and a big ass nursery yard. So we'll get a complaint "oh they have no fall mums there" and I'll literally post a picture of the greenhouse full of them. Or people will be disappointed we don't carry shrubs and I'll walk them around the side (the front of which is visible from the road/parking lot and we always put our showiest plants there) and it takes everything in me to not go "you were saying?" And these people are well off and brag about their schools and schooling and I'm sitting here seriously concerned that they can't see or read anything unless it smacks them in the face.

Glad I don’t work there. I’d actually take a plant and smack them in the face with it.
