Mike: (English accent) Greetings and salutations.  He=E2=80=99s not Mike.=20
Ike: (Southern accent) He ain=E2=80=99t Ike.  =20
M:  According to the  mythology of Forever Plaid, there is a special=20
purgatory reserved just for boy  bands.=20
I:  It would explain what  happened to 98 Degrees, Color Me Badd and O-Town.=
=20
M:  You needed an  explanation?=20
I:  Well, I like ta know how  my prayers are answered.=20
M:  The titular Plaids were a  group in the 50=E2=80=99s who are killed on t=
heir way=20
to their first big concert by a  bus filled with Catholic school girls on th=
e=20
way to see the Beatles=E2=80=99 first  American show.  Decades later, God  o=
r Yahweh=20
or Alan Freed or whoever=E2=80=99s in charge of doo-wop limbo decides to let=
  them play=20
that concert so they can finally ascend into Heaven.=20
I:  Which  makes me wonder, why wait so long?  The show opened in 1990.  It=20=
=20
takes place on the night ya see it, so even when the show opened, the boys h=
ad=20
 been in limbo for at least 30 years.  It=E2=80=99s 16 years later.  This  b=
and has=20
waited for half a frakkin century for this chance.  Why?  They seem like nic=
e=20
guys.  Friendly, unassuming.  Why would GodWehFreed keep them in the  afterl=
ife=E2=80=99
s waiting room for so long?  =20
M:  Anyway=E2=80=94=20
I:  For that matter, if you  are one of those people who believes that God=20
has His hands in all things, than  He is obviously what causes the accident=20=
that=20
sends the boys ta limbo.  So, God kills four young men who have  done nothin=
g=20
wrong except dress alike and harmonize, THEN makes them sit in the  Heavenly=
=20
waiting room for several decades without even an old copy of Rolling  Stone=20=
or=20
Jugs to read, THEN says =E2=80=9CYa got one shot.  Screw this up and ya neve=
r get=20
inta  Heaven!=E2=80=9D   And then at the end  of the show, once the concerts=
 over, we=20
never really find out if, in fact, the  Plaids got inta Heaven or if they=
=E2=80=99re=20
stuck in limbo for eternity opening for The  Captain and Tennille.=20
M:  I think you=E2=80=99re reading  too much into this.=20
I:  I think the guy who  created the show thinks doo-wop is evil.=20
M:  I think you=E2=80=99re  insane.=20
I:  I think you like strokin=E2=80=99  it to The Gilmore Girls.=20
Pause=20
M:  Moving on.=20
I:  Ya didn=E2=80=99t say ya  don=E2=80=99t.=20
M:  MOVING ON!  Last Friday, this light, frothy, yet  somehow intensely morb=
id
=E2=80=94=20
I: Ta us, anyway.=20
M:  --show opened at the  Player=E2=80=99s Guild=20
I: (Singing) IN CAN-TON!=20
Pause=20
M:  What the hell was  that?=20
I:  Don=E2=80=99t worry.  Someone will get it.=20
M:  Ooo-kay.  And a few days after that Dan Kane  published a pretty nasty=20
review.  He  pretty much ripped the cast a new one.=20
I:  And people still call us  mean.  Go fig.=20
M:  Now I find it interesting  what Mr. Kane did NOT put in his review, like=
=20
the fact that for every time the  harmonies were off, they were on another=20
time and quite lovely  sounding.=20
I:  Or the  fact that one of the Plaids missed his frakkin graduation=20
ceremony for opening  night.  Yeah, he skipped it ta do a  play.  =20
M:  That=E2=80=99s  dedication.=20
I:  And the kid=E2=80=99s pretty  talented, too.  He keeps it up, he  could=20=
have=20
quite a career and then once he makes money, we=E2=80=99ll start slammin=E2=
=80=99  him.=20
M:  He also failed to notice  that, while he may not have been impressed at=20
all, the audience obviously was,  as their applause were quite genuine and n=
ot=20
the =E2=80=9Cpity=E2=80=9D applause=E2=80=94and all of you  know exactly wha=
t I=E2=80=99m talking about=E2=80=94you=20
hear at some plays or at Jessica Simpson  concerts.=20
I:  But then again, he is the  paid =E2=80=9Clegitimate=E2=80=9D critic.  Pe=
ople  only care=20
about what he thinks. =20
M:  Mr. Kane=E2=80=99s biggest  quibble seemed to be that he had seen the sh=
ow=20
before, with constant beautiful  harmonies and spot on choreography and this=
 show=20
had none of that.  Now we knew nothing about the show  before we saw it.=20
I:  Hell, we didn=E2=80=99t even know  it used old standards as opposed ta o=
riginal=20
songs.=20
M:  And to us, the not  entirely perfect harmonies and the not quite togethe=
r=20
choreography worked in the  show=E2=80=99s favor.  The Plaids came  across a=
s real=20
people, not perfect Disney automatons.  I had a real =E2=80=9Crooting for th=
e underdog=E2=80=9D=20
 feeling while watching this show.  I  wanted the characters to do their bes=
t=20
and get into Heaven, which is why I was a  little annoyed that the end of th=
e=20
show really doesn=E2=80=99t spell it out.=20
I:  So okay, maybe we are  readin=E2=80=99 a little more inta the play than=20=
we=20
should, but ya know what?  The show we watched was a helluva lot  more inter=
estin=E2=80=99=20
than the show Dan Kane apparently loves.=20
M:  So is he right?  Are we right?=20
I:  Who cares?=20
M:  The actor=E2=80=99s  shouldn=E2=80=99t.=20
I:  Namaste.=20
