Should Have Seen This Coming: Green Day Musical Is Getting Horrible Reviews

This was one of those ideas that sounded fantastic in theory. A musical based on Green Day‘s American Idiot seemed like it would be utterly awesome and make theater not so lame. Unfortunately we were wrong. Critics have panned the production, which opened Tuesday at New York’s St. James Theatre. Funny part is, they were really hoping this musical would be good. I mean how could you root against Billy Joe and the boys:

“I wish I could tell you I loved American Idiot. It looks good; it sounds good; it features a talented and hardworking cast. But I can’t. It’s fun. But it’s also, amid all the booming rock, a little dull.”

That’s a real shame. “American Idiot” is one of the greatest albums of our generation and for the musical to suck is quite a disappointment. Forgot just how amazing Green Day was back in 2004? Peep a few of the best singles from the album after the jump.

Suicidal Statues Get NYPD Angry

Yesterday police officers hurried over to the Empire State Building after they had been alerted about a possible jumper. They were not amused when the jumper turned out to be a cast iron statue.

How did we get up there you ask? Well the statue is part of the “Event Horizon” art installation, which has placed life-like metal men around the city on rooftops and other hig suicide locations. When the statue appeared on the Empire State Building, several concerned citizens called the police. When NYPD arrived on the scene and saw that it was all in the name of art they were not pleased:

“It’s a pain in the ass,” said one officer of the art project. “It’s a waste of manpower. We’re short cops to begin with and we don’t have enough cops to waste answering calls of statues committing suicide.”

Even people who work there are perturb that management would allow the statues to go up despite the building’s reputation as a popular suicide locale.

But hey everyone, let’s relax for a minute. Despite the fact that now police are much less inclined to go charging toward the Empire State Building to save a potential suicide victim (that might be a little dangerous), this is actually pretty amusing and creative. I usually don’t dig art, but this is defintely one of the more interesting artistic forays I’ve heard about in a while…you know, except for those naked people at the MoMa of course.

The Horse Drawn Hummer Is Kind Of Awesome

If you didn’t think carriage rides could be completely pimped out and awesome, you haven’t check out the horse drawn Hummer by Jeremy Dean. Jeremy decided to take out his artistic creation for a little spin around Central Park and everyone was thoroughly confused, though pleasantly surprised. But before you swing by Central Park to sign up for your own turn on the horse drawn Hummer, it was a one time deal. The vehicle is actually more of an artistic endeavor, meant to show the demise of the auto industry. Aptly dubbed “Back to the Futurmama,” the piece was described as:

“Dean has taken a gas guzzling 8 mile-per-gallon HUMMER H2, a symbol of extravagance, and converted it into a working horse drawn cart. Dean has pimped it out with silver chrome, working LED lights and a booming audio and video system. He calls this piece the CEO Stagecoach.”

I don’t really care the reason Jeremy thought of this invention, it’s awesome. The fact that you can combine horses and LED lights is all I need to make my day just that much better. Check out a video of the hummer carriage in action after the jump.

Naked Art At The MoMa Concerns Some New Yorkers

For the next couple of months, art enthusiasts who swing by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will get a very naked eyeful when heading to the “Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present” exhibit. In the narrow corridor heading into the exhibit, visitors will have to squeeze through two naked people standing against the museum walls. Alternating between same sex and opposite sex pairs, the two naked models will stand by as museum goers cautiously squeeze through the corridor, trying to avoid any rubbing, grazing, touching or arousing. The artist who created the exhibit is no stranger to the weird and sexually-charged. In the past she has swapped places with prostitutes and even carved a pentagram into her abdomen all in the name of art. Her currently foray into the strange includes an audio track of her screaming and moaning, but that doesn’t compare to the nakedness that New Yorkers are coming up close and personal with. While some didn’t mind a little nudie action in the MoMa, others were incredibly uncomfortable at the prospect of rubbing up against robust racks and twigs and berries. Georgina Rovirosa, an NYU graduate student told the NY Post:

“It didn’t feel normal. I’ve never walked between two naked guys like that before — not in public places.”

I love how she had to throw in the “not in public places” part, just for clarification sake.
