Tonight I was lucky enough to attend a special preview performance of Josh Kornbluth's new monologue called "Citizen Josh". It was at once fun, entertaining and thought provoking with a distinctly more political bent than normal - that's great for me since Josh is "one of my guys" but it may make it harder to tour with the performance. Better hope he doesn't experience a Mike Daisey style audience coup!
Anyway,early in the show Josh postulated that perhaps America had done so much "exporting of Democracy" in the past few year that it had simple run out of it at home. Sold out, gone, dried up - no more democracy for you. I know what he means, it certainly feels like that at times. What's a country to do? Well the rest of the monologue is all about that and Citizen Josh got his groove back and rekindled his democratic flame. Nicely done Josh.
