So the latest turn in the Spider-Man musical chronicles, which has is apparently going to require it's own tag since I'm tired of re-linking back posts, is that it's been endorsed. And while I'm never swayed by the fancy of famous personalities, I can certainly use this backing to to bolster my point: "Turn Of The Dark", meet your newest fanboy, Glenn Beck.
If that sobbing retard (no, not you John Boehner) likes it, it's definitely no good. "This is better than 'Wicked!'" he raved on his radio program, after seeing the show twice: first on Saturday and returning Wednesday, where he shared he gave it a standing ovation. Wow, what higher honor can a production receive than the gravitas of a political hack?
Beck went backstage to meet director Julie Taymor and Bono and The Edge, who needed the musical as an outlet for the bad music they couldn't fit onto their latest album. After calling it the 21st-century equivalent of "The Phantom of the Opera", he added, "this is history of Broadway being made!" And Glenn Beck would know, being Broadway's most knowledgeable and respected reviewer.
He mocked theater critics who are giving the show it's just deserts, and suggested it would be worth donating a kidney to snag a ticket. "I mean, you've got two kidneys. Don't give both kidneys up — go see 'Wicked' before you give both kidneys," Beck said. "But give a kidney to go see 'Spider-Man.' I'm telling you, mark my words, it's being panned right now, nobody's saying good stuff about it. I'm telling you, you go buy your ticket — you buy your ticket now, if you're thinking about coming to New York, because when this thing opens and it's starting to run, you will not be able to get tickets to this for a year." In response, the National Kidney Registry issued a single, one line statement: "Go fuck yourself Glenn Beck".
One of Beck'slackeys spokesmen said Beck paid for his tickets and is not an investor, which explains how he got his backstage pass to meet the show's creative team. The show is under such scrutiny and bad press that the likes of Glenn Beck advocating it don't necessarily undermine it - though it's clear that shit + shit just equals more shit.

It's infuriating that I would get fired immediately if I said in my classroom half the things Beck says whilst he gets paid a fortune to spew his inane views through the national media.
