ode to houston

always good to come back to houston for a while and see old friends. houston was always good to me, even in the worst of times i knew that if i could just get to houston with one hundred dollars in my pocket i could be back on top of the game within a month or two. it is a big, dirty, humid, heavily trafficed, grid-locked town full of great people. much more working class than dallas and a hellava lot more fun. houston has 5 comedy clubs, a world class ballet, a renowned opera, three major sport teams, two major colleges plus a half dozen smaller colleges. plus it has the best caberet theater in america, RADIO MUSIC THEATER, which i cannot recommend highly enough. if you are ever here, do yourself a favor and go see these guys. two men and a woman play multiple parts and the show changes every 4 months or so. it is a musical caberet theater with all the dialogue and music written by it's resident genius, steve farrel. it is the best in the country and will make you laugh out loud over and over again. let me put it this way: when hicks, butler, kinison or myself went to another show it was always radio music theater.
