Visions of Natasha and Boris dance before my eyes as Bill and I head up 95 from
Boston. We're heading to BullMoose Music in Maine and I can't get
Bullwinkle out of my brain. With that jingle (BullMoose in
Maine/Bullwinkle on the brain) on auto-replay, images of Amanda as
Natasha, varied and intriguing, come fast and easy. But Brian as Boris
is something my mental airbrushing can't quite perfect. And I have no
image whatsoever to work with for this Sunday afternoon instore
performance. These sorts of events can be so anti-septic depending on
the particular outlet. A STRIPmall?! Actual DAYLIGHT?! Will they be
CRAMMED into a corner? Will I barely see them over the BARRY MANILOW
rack? Ah, is this to turn in a FRACTURED FAIRY TALE? But then that
segment of Bullwinkle was always my favorite. With what witty humor the
creators took something familiar and morphed it into a humorous and
wondrous tale in its own right. A Fractured Fairy Tale is then an
alt-reality in which the known is refreshed and revitalized through
its juxtaposition within an alien framework. Now I find myself longing
for a Fractured Doll Tale. I am not disappointed.
