Gossip Girl 3.30.09: “Only My Boyfriend Touches My Hair”
How’d you handle the scandal, GG fans? Next week is a rerun, so let’s savor this week’s ep, eh? Points of discussion from last night’s episode…
- "Only my boyfriend touches my hair." – Blair Waldorf. Quote of the episode, thankyouverymuch. I hope I get the opportunity to say this in the near future, so I can laugh to myself (and the offender can look at me quizically).
- Chuck Bass and V having a purely physical relationship — they were stoked to film that, I’m sure, since they’re an item IRL.
- If you were little J, would you have been happy Serena threw you a party? I would’ve at least been happy I decided to dress up for "sloppy joes and board games."
- When Nate says he has to talk to Vanessa and Blair goes, "Can’t you just text?!" LOL.
- Blair & Nate: Together again! What do we think? I think it’s cute that she said, "I miss my friend Nate."
- Blair is killing it in the wardrobe department lately. Honestly, I would watch just for her ensembles.
- I kept thinking Serena’s friend "Poppy" was spelled "Papi." Thx, Britney. That’s your fault.
- OMG @ Rufus and Lily’s lovechild writing Dan Humphrey a fan letter!
Does anyone know any of the music used last night? I like when they flash it at the end, but they haven’t done that lately. Lame.
Advice: If you have a sensible, non-snob of a boyfriend, don’t watch this with him. I had no choice. I was "working" and I don’t have TiVo! He kept calling Chuck a creepy-creepster and saying that no one would hang out with him in real life. I neglected to point out that in real life, he has an accent. Enough said? I think so.
“American Idiot” Musical: Bilie Joe Says “It Doesn’t Make A Lot Of Sense”
Is the theater for punk rock? We’re about to find out. After months of work, California’s Berkeley Repertory Theater is set to debut a stage musical based on Green Day ‘s politically charged blockbuster album, American Idiot . The show, created by the band and Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer, will run from Sept. 4 through Oct. 11.
No one is more surprised by the notion of a punk rock album being turned into a play than Green Day’s own frontman Billie Joe Armstrong . "It doesn’t make a lot of sense," he told the New York Times . "But that’s what I love about it. When people see it, it’s going to be my wildest dream."
Details on the plot are still scarce — and Billie Joe admits that the album is "not the most linear story in the world." But it does contain some memorable characters, like Jesus of Suburbia and Whatshername, so it’s a good bet that the musical storyline will incorporate them somehow.
The production of an American Idiot musical isn’t even close to the oddest rock/theater collaboration in recent memory. Before Twilight took over pop culture, Elton John wrote a bunch of music for a Broadway adaption of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Now, U2′s Bono and the Edge are writing music for a musical adaptation of the Spider-Man comic book called Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark . Julie Taymor, who directed the Beatles-inspired film musical Across the Universe , is directing the Spidey production.
Green Day, of course, has long idolized the theatrics of idols like The Who, whose concept album Tommy was turned into a Broadway production. But Billie Joe seems a tad uncomfortable when asked whether his band is now surpassing the Clash, another big Green Day inspiration. He says: "I guess maybe we’re a bit more fruity than the Clash."
Maybe the real question is: is punk rock ready for the theater?
