...highlight of last weekend was appropriately the closer of Sunday night's show, "Standing On The Moon." Starting off slow and mellow, it incrementally blossomed into a exhibition of how strong and healthy Jerry is. As Garcia's vocal coda of "with you" rose and rose in volume, the exhausted capacity crowd of 15,700 came to its feet with a roar, causing Garcia to become even more exuberant and finish the normal set of the last show of the weekend with the most animated vocal solo this writer has ever seen...

With enormous relish, she has her characters tell stories of sniffing cocaine from an erect black penis ("It doesn't look as good on a white cock.") Nor does Venus shy away from the reputation of promiscuity enjoyed by the gay community. As she tells Frazier: "We shared our bodies. We gloried in the experience. I go my way and you go yours far richer than before we met. If I sleep with someone...
