"Yacht Rock" at the Rickshaw Stop

A live event honoring a youtube series ("web TV" is naive and faintly rude, like calling a comic book a "Graphic Novel" or referring to a beatnik as a "white negro") gives the strangest kind of evening. The overall emotion is somewhere between seeing a Night Ranger reunion concert and witnessing the arrival of Dennis Quaid's palooka has-been baseball coach finally getting to play in the major leagues at the end of "The Rookie." Notice that neither event is particularly glorious - Quaid's playing for the Devil Rays, and unless they play "Sister Christian" on repeat for two hours the concert's 99 percent filler - but both have the low-rent appearance of actual glory. Layer in a dollop of considerable retro-post-irony - the double-back ability to appreciate a thing for its awfulness while loving it for its awesomeness - and you've got the special Yacht Rock screening at the Rickshaw Stop.
