Music Gossip — Live in Cannes

Posted by David Koon on Thu, May 17, 2012 at 11:38 AM

And now, for your Thursday "Holy Crap I Wish I Was There" dance with dejection, here's Arkansas kids-made-good Beth Ditto and Gossip blowing the roof off the dump on opening day of the 65th Cannes Film Festival yesterday, in what might be the most amazing place for a concert ever seen this side of Rock and Roll Heaven. Gossip was filming a piece for the French TV show Le Grand Journal.

BONUS: ... with special guest star Sacha Baron Cohen, dressed as his current alter-ego, General Aladeen from his new film "The Dictator".

'A Loss of Roses' a stunner

Before last Friday night, the saddest, most "depressing" Depression-era story I had read was Horace McCoy's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" However, after watching The Arkansas Repertory Theatre's opening performance of William Inge's "A Loss of Roses," I can attest that this play is as rough and unflinching as that Depression-era tale, or any other.
