I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.

To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Hey, Paul- Can we get a DVD up in here? Five years ago today, January 29 1998 Paul Simon's ill fated musical Capeman opened at Marquis Theater in New York City.
I can't speak to the quality of the play, because I never had an opportunity to see it- nor did much of anyone else. It played for a couple of weeks, and closed down. Kaput. No national tour, no video, not even a cast album.
Frankly, I'm still kind of pissy about this. OK, so it didn't go over. At least put out a simple video recording of the stage production so long time money spending Paul Simon fans such as myself can see what this big project looked like.
The only thing available to the general public is the Paul Simon album with half or less of the songs. This was an outstanding set of songs, a unique product in Simon's prestigious career. It was odd hearing him sing "I was born in Puerto Rico." It was also interesting to hear his careful enunciation of the curse words and racial epitaphs coming from the mouths of these teenage gangsters.
It would STILL be nice to have a cast album with ALL the songs, and/or a video of the play. C'mon, buddy, throw us fans a bone here.
