I miss Randy Rainbow

His clever songs and snarky style got me through the past few years. In short, he's a genius.

I know that he's working on working to take his show on the road, but a short video on YouTube from him would make me very happy.

Here's my favorite of his videos:

He's become too popular for the small screen, it sounds like. Going to start making bigger bucks.

Good for him. He deserves it. Still sucks for those of us who watch You Tube though.

of this month. I could not wait but they have cancelled it. We will be able to see him in January. *sigh* I was looking forward to it but will still get to see him.

Just over a year ago:

Comedian Randy Rainbow is in hot water after tweets have resurfaced online in which Rainbow uses racist and transphobic language.

Hope it's not canceled due to COVID.. Right now CO infection rate is around 6% and pretty sure masks will be required. Can't wait! Taking two friends I shared his videos with during the shutdown.

With a fifty-fifty "majority" it serves no good propose to alienate then or drive them into the hands of the gop.

Maybe he doesn't know the definition of genius?
