...them--the Kingston Trio--like Folksmen, the depressingly uplifting "neuftet" New Main Street Singers (with John Michael Higgins, Jane Lynch and Parker Posey) and the duo Mitch & Mickey (Levy and Catherine O'Hara)--persist in believing, as show people must, that they somehow mattered. And still do. "To do 'then' now is retro," Folksman Harry Shearer insists. "To do 'then' then was very...

This is beyond the coincidence that your roommate looks just like Scarlet O’Hara, because unlike your no-talent ass-clown of a roommate I have a deeper connection. I was born on Thanksgiving. My mother’s belly button popped like a meat-timer and when she was sliced open like a plump turkey, I emerged, a most uncommon stuffing...
