...little grass. But that all changed under the deportees' murderous influence. The pipe guns were replaced with AK-47s and Uzis, and the marijuana with crack, which in San Pedro Sula sells for only $4.25 a "rock." Now, gang members aspire to have a teardrop tattooed on their cheek, to signify they've killed a rival. The new-look gangs quickly began shaking down grocery shops, factory girls and bus passengers for "taxes." They hijacked buses for drive-by shootings in rivals' neighborhoods, and began raping local girls, some as young as six, according to San Pedro Sula police...
...their bare behinds. On the soundtrack you hear their nervous chatter as the rear ends--plump or scrawny, smooth or furry--rise and dip and bunch up on-screen. The point that we're all human has been made before, but not usually with tongue so literally in cheek. Four years later, she made Fly, in which, for 25 minutes, what appears to be a single housefly (actually there were several) is photographed at close range navigating the body of a naked woman.

Their names have endured as clichés of musical humor, be it in an ancient Cheech and Chong routine or the tongue-in-cheek moniker of the near-forgotten rock band Blind Melon.

A pair of new compilations from Shanachie, painstakingly assembled from old recordings from the 1920's and enhanced for maximum audio quality, provides a valuable insight on the oeuvre of both of these unique performers...

Yet even the most dramatic moments in Bennett's play are punctuated with laughs and a tongue-in-cheek manner. The recreation of this difficult symbiosis between tragedy and farce was all the harder as the play's director brought a completely different agenda to this production...
Like the pre-Disney Elton John, Williams is blessed with the rarest of pop assets--a sense of humor. As a refugee from the English boy band Take That, Williams pretty much had to learn how to sing with his tongue in his cheek; and here, on the ridiculously camp Rock DJ and the Gloria Gaynor-needling Supreme, he proves that high-energy, danceable pop can be funny for the right reasons. When called upon (Better Man, The Road to Mandalay), he can also sell a song like a more traditional emoter, but what fun is that...
