KISS'S Ending It

Inline image "Mrs. Warren's Profession" at Theater 2 (The Kirk Theater) at Theater Row is one of George Bernard Shaw's most controversial works: it was frowned upon at the time of Shaw's play for a woman to own and run a business.

The Gingold Theatrical Group uses Mr. Shaw's writing to help promote freedom of speech and creates theater to further the cause of supporting human rights.

I guess like most people I started working back in my teenage years. Work either meant flipping burgers and "you want fries with that shake". Or shoveling pieces of meat that resembled chicken into a bucket. The 'cool' kid in class was a night manager, had a plastic name tag and everything. I did my time in the grease pits, hamburger grease, and started working on cars, the best kind of grease. But the coolest job was working for the city of St. Louis at the Kiel Auditorium as an usher.

I’m obsessed with hip-hop. OBSESSED. Which is hardly surprising, when you think about it. I am a skinny, nerdy, white Jewish kid from Johannesburg. Of course I was going to gravitate to the most hardcore gangsta music I could find when I was growing up.
