Straight Edge Life

This is really a review of the Har Mar show and of being back in Agate Hall. Because for me, both were experiences worth mentioning. Agate Hall (formerly Condon School) has always been a sweet place to go see small obscure bands with a really really fun crowd of kids. Kids. Like high school kids. For the most part from South Eugene High. The kind of kids who never really thought to take drugs and get drunk because they were always too busy just having fun in their own way to think about doing that. It was fun just being there, really reminded me of high school again.

So Har Mar Superstar was about what I expected. He’s like the non-porn star singer version of Ron Jeremy. In physical appearance at least. I’ve never actually seen a Ron Jeremy flick and can’t tell you if Har Mar matched Jeremy’s attitude, but I can guess that he pretty much does. He’s friggin’ hilarious. I might go so far as to say that he’s a one man party. He’s got all the cheesiest dance moves refined to a near art form. I sat there watching him and just didn’t know whether to be disgusted or amazed. There really is nothing like seeing an overweight, balding and hairy dude who sweats profusely dance around stage in tighty whitey underwear singing about how awesome he is. I think everyone needs to see Har Mar in show at least once in their lives. I video taped the whole thing. I’ll grab some shots and post them with this review in a few days.
