How do you even begin to describe what is possibly one of the greatest moments in public access history? Do you begin with the brilliant lyrics, the passionate backup dancing, or the deep, true and haunting insanity behind their eyes?
Once upon a time, in the 1980s, three beautiful women met in Alcoholics Anonymous. Their friendship was instant, and there seemed to be only one option: they had to form a band and sing about their troubled lives live on television. Robot Judy Garland and luded-up Tina Turner would sing backup and Penny (the daughter of Penny Marshall and Janis Joplin) would scream… er… sing… lead. They would produce a song called “The Shrink” honoring their many, many years of fruitless psychotherapy. They would premiere it on a public access talent show, and the world would never, ever be the same. *
After their astounding performance, the only thing that could cap it off would be a giant Austrian Amazon/siren named Inga singing “All of Me” with an accent heavy as her rack. It would be a performance campier than a John Waters cabaret.
We have one question for you, dear readers. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE NUTS?
