Babs at MSG

i know that Lori was also in the Garden tonight for the first of the
two BStreisand shows in her hometown of NY...it was a whos who...I saw
Mike Wallace, Audra Mcdonald, Rosie Odonnell and Kelly ofcourse in the
front row, Tony Bennett walked in, Mayor Dinkins, Mayor Koch, Al
Sharpton, Jason Streisand and the place went wild when Oprah et al (
gayle king, stedman and body guards) walked in. There were many others
i couldnt pick out of the crowd. Oprah had front row center...right
under the jewish american beauty nose of Barbra Streisand...

Murph, i had a different take on the show... I could have done without
the Simon Cowell fabricated Boys Band. Il Divo is NSYNC for the opera
or classical crowd. if i wanted classical why would i need Il Divo
when I could go to the MET or to Carnegie Hall.. I left the room
during their set and each time they came back i tuned out..

The political bit was about 10 minutes and it was rather embarrassing
that an imitator so aptly represented the President....it was to be
all in fun...

it was an interactive crowd tonight... it always is in NYC.. . BABS i
love you, will you marry me.. You are Buttah....then after someone
Yelled....something i didnt hear it but the Brooklyn Babe did....

she turned right and i heard her yell
"shut the F**K up" "if you cant take a joke" "give him his money back"

itll be on the news by morning that Barbra Streisand Got Brooklyn
Ballistic and dropped the F BOMB infront of Oprah and about 50, 000 of
her closest friends in MSG...

she then had to sing some of the most beautiful songs, the optimistic,
hopeful ones... and
she apologized for losing her temper......

the crowd had a mixed reaction.... the man asked for his money back
and left the garden..
most complaints were about the Bush Imitator going too long...

how many DUMB BUSH jokes can you hear before they are redundant....its
sad that he is portrayed as being that DUMB...i think id rather deal
with the Clinton Sex jokes...

now i have seen it all... Joan Baez, Natalie Merchant, Linda
Rondstadt, the Dixie Chicks.. nothing compares to the Babs...
You can take the girl outta brooklyn but you cant take the Brooklyn
outta the girl....
