Re: Is/was Steve Martin funny?

Only murderers in the building is one of the best comedies on television. He has perfect timing on that show. He is a comedic genius.

Re: Mike Tramp at Whisky tonight! How many Dave Grohl’s kids will be at the show?

Show was pretty good. Liked some of the song reworkings, but would have preferred to hear most in their original structure. Lady Of The Valley was the highlight. Lots of people left after Wait.

Saw LAGlamrocker taking selfies with the stage at the end of the night.
