The Official Adam Pascal Love thread — Page 853

I can't believe this! Just when we'd thought the sickness was gone!

Nia!! Just sit your mom down and tell her the truth. You're just too stressed and you need to stay home to catch up and do well at that. Ask her if it really would make her happy to see her prescious daughter failing and getting sick! Even though it's always good to keep going in tough times, sometimes it's just healthier to take a break, for yourself. Oh, and keep crying

You will get well, Emcee!!! *glares*

I'm trying, Emcee, I'm TRYING! *cries* Dammit, my magic is BROKEN! GETWELLEMCEE GETWELLEMCEE *smacks magic wand* Better yet? *glares again*

Is Nia dead?

What is this chanting? Ugh, I don't even know what I'm reading!

I can see that she's warn out! And I think she should read my little advice coming from someone who is always under that situation!!

Aw, Emcee, you seem to have the "everything" virus. I hope you're feeling a little better now. And Nia, good luck with your work. Try to think about the most important things for you to get done and let the rest go if you have to.

I'm just stopping in for a moment, because I was up so late last night. But did any of you see the Hair CD review Seth R. posted on AllThatChat? It was from an LA paper, I believe, and the reviewer said Adam sounded like "a 60's rock god." Not bad!

::runs off to find the review again::

Here's the first half of it, Emcee:

Songs of 'Hair' given new stylings

'Hair'
The Actors' Fund of America benefit recording (Ghostlight division of Sh-K-Boom Records)
***

A fresh approach can make standard material seem brand-new again. Remember 1996's "The Songs of 'West Side Story,' " with Little Richard howling "I Feel Pretty" and hip-hoppers rapping through "Gee, Officer Krupke"? Similarly playful renditions of the songs from "Hair" were performed at an Actors' Fund benefit in New York in September. As captured on CD, the performances blast 1967's "American tribal love-rock musical" into the 21st century.

The high-energy ode to "Donna," for instance, acquires a sly, same-sex slant as Lea DeLaria rips through it in her finest rock 'n' roll baritone. Later, raspy Harvey Fierstein sounds as though he's choking for lack of the title element in "Air."

Adam Pascal sounds like a '60s rock god on "I Got Life"; Raúl Esparza growls defiantly through the title song; and Julia Murney puts a distaff spin on the existential questions asked in "Where Do I Go?"

Defiantly. Growling. I like it. Rock on, Esparza.

AND JULIAAAAAA. My Goddess.

That's such a nice thing for my ears to imagine. Raúl. Growling. *drifts off*

Wow! Sheer guesswork on my part, I'm afraid. Anyway, that's not an overwhelming amount, I hope, but as I recall no one in your family has a credit card. Any friends who could order things for you and you could pay them back?

ETA: Well, I really need to get to bed - hope everyone who's sick and/or stressed will be better tomorrow.
