Remember the Copeland & Combs who once filled our days with Kelly Miller posting? That was Steve, the tell-all one. I have marveled over how they went totally under cover, their once thriving blog nearly now in the dirt and sadly fading away. I walk the dirt of desertion these days.
Whatever happened? My best guess: Somebody told Steve, in order to protect their precarious career (we are talking "circus" career), that he had better stay clear of all social media ... WELL, poking around in news bits from Baraboo (did I spell that right?) I learned they played --- are you ready? --- Cirque d"Hiver (yes, I know I did not spell that right) last winter ... Mighty impressive! Glad they are still cobbling together pay dates there and here ...
Under punishing North Carolina spotlights, Garden Bros, Circus ranked by the Grenville News "the worst circus." And ain't that a shocker! Like a veteran cockroach in stolen spangles, this creepy caravan just keeps slugging along. Compared to which, maybe King-Cole, now in its second season (the first having "wrapped" in a week or two) is A OK? I'm hoping Circus Report puts out something on this show before CR goes under come December ...
So many icons and landmarks falling ... Yes, I know there is a "Renaissance" of circus arts underway in this country. And are you referring to artsy stage shows? Summer youth circuses? Acro-dance troupes? Pardon my asking.
Kelly Miller's website shows a performance lineup identical to last year's, and on a video tease they have produced, the over all sheen and talent range makes me wish I could see this one Might they be the new Ringling-Barnum? ... Or would that be Big Apple, the latter a strange animal, apparently straining to find hospitable cities in which to play ...
Michael Jackson's Neverland, the subject of a brilliantly believable doc now airing on HBO, should land a slew of awards ... A quietly escalating drama of how the singer skillfully charmed and seduced little boys into believing themselves to be in full-blow relationships with their freaky idol. Blame it on the music, and oh what music it was. I remember once joking with friends, was that a fake detachable nose he was wearing? How much was real?...
What people will do, even with their kids the bait, to taste fame and fortune and Hollywood money ... So many love notes floating back and forth, and in clear sight, between Michael and his "lover" (of the year), and Mommy and Daddy did not realize what was going on in the bedroom, often far away from theirs? The voices of two of the singer's subjects, clear and calm, recounting how wonderful and not coercive it seemed, and that makes the story both challenging and even more bizarre. Except that, Mr. J was not after long-term love, which marks him as just another very average, horny predator jumping from one xxx to another ...
First part ends with both boys having been pushed to the sidelines while younger darlings are charmed into the Neverland seduction compound... Can't wait for Part 2, to see what happened to these two fellows as they grew up to face a life without the man who swept them out of their diapers. He, at 34-ish in a private ceremony, getting married to his latest one true love -- all of seven years old, and ominously close to seven-year-itch rejection ...Oh, whatever happened to monogamous pedophilia?
I'm outta here.
