Well now, Freestyle Love Supreme was definitely an interesting experience. Many thanks to my pal Carl for arranging to get us front row center seats! The musical experience was way outside my normal zone, so rather than trying to critique that part of the show, I'll just say “go see it, then decide whether it was money well spent.” Why? Because the whole night unrolled in a kind of “dont blink or you'll miss it” fashion. Extermely entertaining word play for a couple hundred folks at once, yeah, that's quite unusual!
