Kat and Phoebe grope for answers to this week’s big philosophical questions: what is the best Broadway show at which to get to third base? Do the Russell Brand allegations represent a new frontier in age gap discourse? If you say Jann Wenner’s name three times, will he show up and harass your dinner party guests with unsolicited opinions about who does and does not qualify as a philosopher of rock and roll?
One important correction: Janis Joplin is indeed long-deceased, but Grace Slick is alive at 83 in California. She stopped performing in the 90s and has health issues, but she's still with us painting Alice in Wonderland images (her White Rabbits are understandably popular).
I went to high school with a family named "Marchese". They pronounced it "mar-Case" with a hard "C" sound.
As for Amy Wax, every allegedly objectionable statement she's made has been outside the classroom (on podcasts, newspaper op-eds, interviews). UPenn has never produced a shred of evidence that she engaged in misconduct towards students or graded them unfairly. I should also note that grading in law school lecture courses is blind - professors don't know the identity of test takers until it's time to submit grades to the administrative office. (Small group seminars/clinics are different).
Oh gosh, Phoebe's recollection about Shortbus! I too loved Hedwig and the Angry Inch (a masterpiece) and fell into this very same trap. It was just a very dreary, badly acted film, with extremely unattractive people to the extent that you are just begging for them to put their clothes back on. I don't know why I saw it to the end, it was about as erotic as staring at a cow patty.
My son’s best friend (they were both about 13) was in a West End production of the musical of Big. One couple were enjoying themselves so much that a hand job seemed like just the thing, to the delight and interest of some of the cast. Sadly I don’t know if anyone involved was an elected representative.
In 1995; I felt sorry for Monica Lewinski’s loss of privacy and for Hillary’s humiliation- and the scandal went on forever. Colorado’s Lauren B’s behavior at theater is relevant only to those inside the theater during that performance. MSM continues on downward slide.
My college roommate got in legal trouble because of the over/under 18 business. She had been held back in elementary school so she was older than her classmates in high school. I think she was 19 and her boyfriend was 17, and the boyfriend's mom didn't like her and had her hauled up in court for "contributing to the delinquency of a minor." The judge threw it out. That was in the 1970s in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Having been assigned one of Elizabeth Warren’s textbooks in law school, I would dispute the characterization of her as a great legal scholar.
Also: clearly The Music Man is the musical to attend if you’re going to be feeling up some shipoopis.
I’m calling it: Trump will make Boebert his running mate, and Biden will respond in kind by replacing Harris with AOC.

Boobs? A most uncharacteristic deviation from talk about wieners.
(I thought Kat was going to say "If I were to get groped at a Broadway musical, I would want to be performing IN that musical when it happened.")
