I usually am the last one to hear about things. Then I catch on and feel like I “discovered” something new, only to realize that everyone and their Uncle Joe already has a clue. Whoops!
Stuart Davis is probably that kind of stumble upon scenario. Since I just heard him on NPR this morning discussing his new show, I’m obviously getting on board a bit late in the scene:
Maybe folks can finally handle intelligent, witty humor that still holds taboo topics and crass vulgarity hostage and adds spice with enlightened spiritual mumbo jumbo?! Maybe the world has taken a new form and has suddenly risen from their dark, sleepy slumber?!
Or as Davis says himself: “I hope somewhere a Unicorn is giving a Pegasus a rusty trombone on a silver cloud.” (Whoah did he say that outloud?!)
A decent fellow, who appears to be up to no good, but with a stashy sense of disturbing wit, provocative humor and intense talent. Just the way I like it.
Stuart Davis just performed last night at the Boulder Theater. Hope you got a chance to see him before he becomes a complete untouchable.
