The Keyes to His Heart
Thursday, March 27th, 2014
I love the films of the Coen Brothers, so even a lesser entry to their canon like Intolerable Cruelty brings me a great amount of pleasure. It was because of this that I was pretty excited to meet Irwin Keyes when he appeared at the HorrorHound Weekend on Friday, March 22, 2013. He played the ice cold hit man Wheezy Joe, whose addiction to his inhaler proved to be his downfall. I didn’t need to look much further than that credit to know that I wanted to meet him. But it turns out that he’s done quite a bit more that interested in me. Read the rest of this entry »
I was quite pleased to hear that Danny Glover was going to be appearing at the Chiller Theatre Show that I was attending on October 27, 2012. It’s fun to be consistently surprised at which epic celebrities can be talked into coming out to these type of fan shows. Many of them come time and time again, so by the time you see them at the fifth show, they are as old hat as some friends that you see less than that! But for celebs like Danny Glover, one has to wonder if he’ll do a couple of shows and then that’s it; if you’ve missed him, you’ve missed him for good. 
I wouldn’t say that it has been my dream to meet 80’s pop sensation Debbie Gibson, but it is just surreal enough to be one of those events that only occur in one’s dreams. Her style of music wasn’t exactly my cup of tea in the late 1980’s, as I delved into the pop metal scene and then after a year, drifted into alternative rock and indie pop. In fact, I scoffed at that sugary pop music ushered in by Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Debbie Gibson. But upon review of this music at a later date, I find it much less objectionable, particularly the number one Billboard hits Foolish Beat and Lost in Your Eyes, and a couple of others that hit near the top of the charts, namely Only in My Dreams and Shake Your Love.
