...they ever!), at times they even kickbox, and they do it all in crop-tops and hip-huggers. The flygirls are a "character" or "presence" in the show as much as Jesus or Pontius Pilate (in fact, they also double as lepers, whores and other crowd members when they aren't dancing)--but they're a "presence" that is less a part of the plot and more a part of the music. They are a lot like the flygirls who appeared on the now-defunct TV variety show "In Living Color," kicking dance-ass and taking names while punctuating...

...flygirls aren't the Spice Girls, who are they? The Christian tradition on which Jesus Christ Superstar is based (in theory, at least) makes use of the via negativa to define who God is, outlining everything He isn't (e.g., "God is not mortal") and implying that He is everything else.

...stage, the time has come for the real men to take over. And nowhere are the men more real, and more ready to tell you about it, than Kansas City, where Gunther Cunningham proudly coaches smash-mouth football and his quarterback bravely tells himself that the home fans aren't booing, they're just saying "Elvis." But it's Mr. Grbac that's going to keep the Chiefs down as they win but do not cover against a Chargers defense that will make Elvis into a girlie man before the day is over...

...Blur the photo ever-so-slightly. The eye naturally strays to the most focussed area of an image, so if the model has legs that aren't stellar, a slight blur over the knees will appear as a printing defect, going unnoticed but subtly drawing the viewer's eye away from the problem area...

...last 10 years, as 2000 has drawn closer, we have stopped dreaming about The Future. There was just too much that needed to happen before we'd be in a position to achieve the hopes we originally had for it. We aren't close to the Donna Reed 1950s Space Age ideal. In fact, Donna Reed largely doesn't exist anymore. As fewer women choose to be housewives, the need to create Rosie the Robot has ironically fallen by the wayside. Flying cars aren't anywhere near the horizon. We're just getting started with alternative automobile fuel sources like...
