Also great: “Baker’s Wife” at the Classic Theatre Company, with Ariana DeBose (stellar!) and Scott Bakula.

It’s a giant circus meant
To distract the media
From his pal Jeffrey Epstein
Venezuelan homicide
Nazis in the DOJ
Get pushed off the front page

Tearing down the house

Big crooks
Come running up to bribe him
Please sir
They say with tear-streaked faces
Won’t you take three hundred million bucks
Tearing down the house

He just wants to see himself
On TV with Fox and Friends
Getting kissed on the keister
Not one damn Republican
Stands up to this narcissist
And his galaxy brain

All gone
It’s utter devastation
Looks like
Pix of Ukraine or Gaza
But this attack is coming from within
Tearing down the house

People on their Bluesky feed
Say what the fuck do you expect
He just shit on the country.
Even corp’rate media
Have to pause and scratch their heads
How can we make this sound sane?

Goddamn
It’s all just bits and pieces
Now he’s
Out grooving on the rubble
All because some people
Called him king
Tearing down the house

And the closing night sees a band that needs no introduction: Resistance Frog, straight from their residency in Portland.

Ed. Note: For avoidance of doubt: every band name is human-created. I’ve lost count, but it’s over 3,000 now.
