Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from January 5, 2024 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

I had a terrible copy of Roger Miller's Greatest Hits that I got at a yard sale or something when I was about 14. I wore that record out (even more). What a great writer he was of witty country songs.

That may be true, but I suspect that wasn't the reason they chose not to end the song with "Fuck You!" I suspect it was changed for more commercial reasons.

Chyna toured with the Who in 1989, a tour ostensibly built around this album. Was stuck at dinner table tonight when I thought I heard Pete Towsend. It was either a stroke or AJH. When in doubt....

So, Bronwyn, I think you said you were 4 years old in 1998. If so, doing the math, that means you're hitting the big three-o in 2024. If so, congratulations, kid! (At my age, 30 is still a youngster.)
