Dear GYA, A lot of people think they can do a good Michael Jackson impression, but what truly separates the Michaels from the Titos isn't just the ability to do a decent moonwalk. No, a true MJ impersonator keeps it real by sleeping in a oxygenated hyperbaric chamber, owning a pet monkey and walkin' around 24/7 lookin' like Cap'n Crunch.
Dear GYA, Our family has plenty of holiday traditions, but none of them top watching Kurt Bestor just straight-up Kurt Bestoring all over the Christmas spirit. Seriously,when he gets behind a piano and Kurt Bestors through my favorite holiday classics, I just can't help but leave the auditorium with a little piece of Kurt Bestor in my heart.
Dear GYA, Brewvies is showing Bad Santa tonight and like Die Hard and Home Alone, it is one of the most underrated Christmas movies in existence. It's a story about redemption, the holiday spirit and Billy Bob Thorton dropping f-bombs every 34 seconds.
Dear GYA, We all know The Piano Guys love to play the classic holiday jingles and they do a great job too, but don't act like they're not gonna tease, even for a second, a few Frozen jams. You know damn well there's gonna be some "Let It Go" in there somewhere....and I seriously can't wait.
Dear GYA, If some of you are on the fence about sketching plasticized cadavers at The Leonardo's Body Worlds exhibit tonight, let me remind you that there's nothing to be worried about—they're just people who used to be alive who, after being drained of all fluids, are now filled with polymer and molded into hilarious positions. - Barry Forlows, Salt Lake City
Dear GYA, Ever since Daniel Radcliffe slayed his song "Alphabet Aerobics" on The Tonight Show a month ago, he really has solidified himself as one of the best actors turned rappers. I'd probably say he's better than Drake or Donald Glover.
Dear GYA, As you get older, your tastes become more refined. For example, I only buy locally roasted Sumatra coffee beans, I love my 50/50 polyblend llama-fiber hiking socks and I prefer to listen to harcore-based, black metal with hints of deathrock and mellow, yet gothy undertones.
Dear GYA, It would appear that tonight's Billy Idol show at The Complex is completely sold out. But hey, it's all good guys, I don't need Billy Idol or his vast portfolio of 80s hits to dance by myself.
Dear GYA, I'm thinking about going to the Suicidal Tendencies show tonight at The Depot. Any suggestions on how to fold a proper metal bandana, aka a bandallica?
Dear GYA, I think everyone can agree, that The O.C. was a terrible show, but the soundtrack was solid; Phantom Planet, The Dandy Warhols...Spoon! Basically the album was 12 tracks of classic indie rock that made you forget all about how Kevin Volchok, that peice of crap, killed Marissa Cooper at the end of season 3 only to be tracked down in Mexico in Season 4 by Ryan and turned in to the Feds.
