I saw Lewis Black tonight, which was pretty cool It was part of a benefit for Dana-Farber, which is also cool. (OK, not cool, but worthwhile. Even if I find it difficult to give to that particular charity myself, it’s still worthwhile.)

The only downside was it was the show was part of a large extravaganza for this place. Not that there is anything wrong with that place at all (I envy what they have been able to accomplish actually.) But, as their party, it was very “community” spirited, which I guess you could read as clubby. And, I’m not a member of the club, so I lacked a certain appreciation for some of the night’s bill that was like very good local talent show, as opposed to great. Turns out not all people in all situations can truly rock out, no matter how much they try or receive love and community support.

It would have been good to hear more from Lewis Black and less music overall, I think. But, for quite a few people in the audience, I suspect their opinion would be just the opposite. So, what are you going to do?
