Here's another example of rampant idiocy...
I went to a show Sat night. The performers are "The Edward Twins"
Identical twin brothers that are celebrity impersonators.
One does male celebrity, the other does female.
Now the "appearances" may not be spot on, but the voices are.
Here's the issue:
These brothers used to include a number of black celebrities in their routine, done in full makeup, but had been asked to stop because it was deemed "in poor taste" to do these impersonations in "black-face" makeup.
In one segment (they discussed this during a brief intermission while one was changing backstage) they mentioned how the brother that does male celebrities did Ray Charles AND Stevie Wonder, changing back & forth during the routine. He mentioned that he has been contacted by the powers that be related to both celebrities basically giving their full approval of the routine.
How is it that people, small minded people that probably haven't done anything worthwhile their entire life, can dictate how these performers can do their job?
In any case, I did enjoy the show, even if I was surrounded by women around my elderly mother's age.
