So once in a while us bachelors need to wine and dine our lady friends in the city and take them to a Broadway show. Some shows are really not for us, we all know that but there are some shows out there that us guys will enjoy also!

1) American Idiot: If you are a Green Day fan then you will surely enjoy this show. This show is the American Idiot CD with a few additional songs but transformed into a Broadway show. It tells the story of Johnnie and his two friends…I will stop right there. Its a must see show on Broadway right now. Please go see it with an open mind.

2) Rock of Ages: The musical features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Asia, between other well-known rock bands. It really is a great show if you love music from the 80′s. At one point during the show the crowd actually started to sing along. It’s a rock opera on Broadway that always brings the house down!

3) Million Dollar Quartet: So recently Adam of Avon Junkies saw this play and I was curious on what it was all about and I checked it out and just wow! Million Dollar Quarter is about the recording session that brought together rock ‘n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. How can you beat that!

4) Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles: A tribute to the Fab Four that uses video and sound projections, Rain follows the Beatles from their first visit to the States till their 1970 breakup. The show features original Beatles songs performed live.

5) Blue Man Group: This play is based around three “main characters” called Blue Men, who appear in black clothing and blue paint over bald caps and play a mixture of percussive instruments. Just get ready for loud music and a rocking good time. Who knows you might even get called to stage to jam with them like my friend Stephanie did!

Many do not know him by name but Mark David Chapman is the person/animal who killed John Lennon. Chapman, 55, is serving a sentence of 20 years to life in prison for the shooting death of Lennon outside his New York City apartment on December 8, 1980. A few years ago Chapman, was up for parole but was denied “due to concern for the public safety and welfare.” Guess what? He is up for parole again and Yoko Ono wants it denied.

Well Duh!!!

He killed John Lennon. I honestly think for Mark’s well being and safety, he should stay in jail. Some crazy Beatles fan might try to have him killed.

Sorry Mark, I know you are sorry, but I think you should stay in jail and enjoy your time there.
