Unreal evening last night at the amphitheater. Electricity, spirit, everything high-powered & out-of-control. Cynthia Erivo as Jesus! Adam Lambert as Judas! Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber in attendance. Unforgettable experience.

Your Phightin Phils acquired the best closer on the market, but they left dangling the loose ends of their secondary needs of a right-handed power-hitting outfielder and middle-relief help. Will it matter? Will it matter either way?

Here’s the latest installment in an unfortunately continuing series we’re calling ‘Say It Loud — I’m a Blackshirt and I’m Proud!’

Recap!

Your No. London Arse have finally done it, committing a boatload of money & hope on the big, broad shoulders of their new top striker, Mistah Viktor Gyökeres, who’ll wear the iconic No. 14 shirt once worn by their all-time Premier League-era scorer, the incomparable Thierry Henry. #COYG

Speaking of The Hollywood Bowl, here’s the late, great, recently departed Chas. Mangione committing this memorable performance to immortality.

New Orleans, what can you say? A complete one-off in the history & geography of your Planet Earth. This extends to its longstanding listener-supported community terrestrial radio station, WWOZ-FM 90.7 mHz. A lot of public radio across America tries to be hip & eclectic & edgy, but they don’t have the organic bona fides to come across as genuine, authentic, unpatronizing. Not so this station, which is the antidote to your corporatized, AI-picked playlists & nonhuman, depersonalized entertainment stream. Today, for example, in the midst of the ‘Soul Serenade’ show, the presenter interrupted the usual flow of the programme with a double-shot of Black Sabbath in honor of the passing of Mistah Ozzy Osbourne Snr. Yup. ‘Iron Man’ followed by, of course, ‘Crazy Train’. Salute, WWOZ!

Still time here for this quartet from the Great White North…

Hope you’re as relaxed & content as our mascot here, Mistah Kevork K. Kanine. Whenever you can, take it easy!

This summer’s amphitheater season began last night with a nice, unchallenging programme of a selection of Tchaikovsky’s most beloved hits as performed by the L.A. Phil, Carlos Miguel Prieto, conductor. Providing artistic backup were the San Francisco Ballet & the University of Southern California’s Spirit of Troy & some local pyrotechnics providers.
