I'm kind of a sucker for the show, Forever Plaid, which is always playing somewhere near you, no matter where you are. I first saw it at the Canon Theater in Beverly Hills, a few days after my father passed away. It was a rough time in my life, obviously because of that but also because of some other problems. Still, I had tickets for the show — ordered long before — and I decided to go, regardless. I was glad I did. Even though it's (sort of) about people dying, it's such a happy, entertaining show that it did a lot for my sense of well-being that night. In fact, on the way out, I purchased tickets to come back and see it again a few days later, and have since seen it perhaps another half-dozen times. The casts are not always as good as the material but the show always works.
This is a spot from a TV morning show. The guys then starring in Forever Plaid in El Cajon (that's near San Diego) appeared to plug the show and perform a number from it. Here are the four of them for four minutes…
