...Dion songs and covers, among them such classic Vegas numbers as Fever and I've Got the World on a String. All the backdrops--including Times Square, a train station and a Florentine campo--would be broadcast on a giant $6 million LED screen. There would be a wordless Romeo and Juliet interlude, a tree that would bloom onstage and a flying orchestra. And, yes, there would be a moon character dressed entirely in white. "He illustrates the emotions of the audience," says Dragone. "He is also a baby who has never seen anything...
...exhilarating psychotic rush of the wordless song “The Killer Robots” was the clear highlight. The piece demonstrates flashy, rumbling garage rock tendencies that resemble the bustling rhythmic guitar drive of Detroit blues-rock band the Von Bondies...

He spends all his spare time working at his family's ramshackle hotel on the New Jersey shore. The summer guests are "Bennys"?crude young Italians from New York City who vomit...
...strange penile animals. "Splish Splosh" are the only sounds in the cutely-drawn piece. H.G. Feekes tells an apparently true story about not having sex with the emaciated, bruised woman who stays in room "21." Even the most explicit of the pieces, Rick Altergott's "Mile High Club," a wordless four-pager depicting a callisthenic tryst in an airplane bathroom, leaves a scent of comedy behind...
