DeSales University – The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge

DeSales University in bucolic Center Valley, PA is doing The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge. Again. The university produced the show several years ago and they're actually doing it again. Fools. "Back by popular demand, a holiday classic—spun on its head. One year after Dickens’ classic tale, Ebenezer’s epiphany has waned and he’s returned to his curmudgeonly ways. He files suit against Jacob Marley and the Christmas ghosts for kidnapping, slander, and emotional distress. All of Dickens’ classic characters take the [...]

J.R. Sullivan’s Hometown Holiday

Alison Gold’s Cataclysmically Terrible New Single – “Chinese Food”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWLhrHVySgA   Oh my god! Ark Factory Music, who brought us Rebecca Black's preadolescent crap song "Friday," have outdone themselves with the release of Alison Gold's single "Chinese Food." I don't really know where to begin. The "Chinese Food" video is so cataclysmically terrible it's hard to stop watching it. Every second that goes by you're thinking "Oh my god, they didn't just do that, did they?" In the video, Gold, after a night of balling and clubbing [...]

Marvels & Monsters Preview Reception

This Thursday come on down to the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles to see the amaze-balls Marcus Choi and Jon Jon Briones sing my song Evil is a Yellow Face for the Preview Reception for Marvels & Monsters: Unmasking Asian Images in U.S. Comics, 1942-1986. Marcus, Jon Jon, and I rehearsed the song today and they made me laugh pretty hard. Marcus is playing the arch-villain Ming the Merciless and Jon Jon is playing the insidious Fu Manchu. Marcus [...]
