Wait, wait, I too can be a producer! Twyla, call me. We'll get Julie Taymoor and go all atwitter. You know, people suspended on wires, flying around the stage, real rubberhoses for the "shooting heroin" scenes and more. We can make these work!
1) Kiss Me Gene! The true story of KISS -- makeup artists, drugs, reality TV. Think about it. We can recreate that moment when he hangs up on Terry Gross during Fresh Air. Magic, I tell you.
2) Gettin' to the Point! Based on the inimitable Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young. How young studs grow old, fat, and drug addicted. Really, I see Alan Cumming as David.
3) Just A Little Harder! The Janis Joplin musical. May need to add simulated sex, on stage. Is Chloe Sevigny available?
4) Screw Joe Hill! The Joan Baez musical. This may require lesbian simulated sex, on stage. Is Chloe Sevigny and/or Hilary Swank available?
Wait, I have more. Twyla, don't leave, I can still...Twyla?.....
TWYLA!!!!

I've read the screenplay for #2. The scene when David speaks with teh family of his liver donor is really touching. David breaks out with a moving rendition of "teach your children" and the family joins in by the end, vowing to save this beautiful man.
(It's too bad about little Johnnie who would've been next in line though.)

Driver Eight: The Tiger Woods Story Set to the Music of REM
good one, keifus. And of course who else to play Nasty Neil other than snarly Sean Penn?
Actually rundeep, MTV recently had a reality show about Gene Simmons. Amazingly, it came off as a modern day Father Knows Best.
Keifus, I like it! You're in! We'll be rich!
Topazz, I know, I saw it. Strange indeed. Simmons is such a freak, you never know when he's going to seem smart and strange or just a whackjob. Perfect for musical theater!
Anon: You Made Me Lose My Religion with that one! I can see a whole bunch of kids from every color of the rainbow and every possible gender and gender orientation showing up with clubs on steps leading up to a hole, marked with a flag that says, simply "Tiger." They chant "I AM Tiger Woods" and then break into "Losing My Religion." You're good! Stick around!
Don't forget the revue of the best songs from the various jukebox musicals.
John, Great idea! The Jukebox is Jumping!
