GEM MADNESS

Leslie Hall did not disappoint me or her bedazzled fans last night at the Hammer. Her most ambitious show to date, the event included two giant boomboxes, astrology song singer Harvey Sid Fisher, eight 10 year old girls in gold pants, a pair of dancing cowboys, and the premiere of her new music video, Willow Don’t Cry. The latter was a musical ode to the movie Willow, and its brave Nelwyn hero. This reminded me just how much I hated and am still confounded by the Willow Nintendo game. In fact everything about Willow was confounding. Val Kilmer? WTF? I guess when you make a movie “based on a story by George Lucas” you should know you’re headed down a dangerous path.
