Heigh-Ho, My Merry Rainbow Tribe! Bobby Patrick, your RAINBOW Reviewer back again. Grabbing that silent T in cabareT to bring you all the Tea!. D’ja miss me, my angels? Yes, indeed, for the next few paragraphs, you will once again have your rainbow boy back in the saddle. Owing to a divine convergence, Bobby was asked to take an unexpected sojourn to the distinguished Birdland Jazz Club to pinch hit for BroadwayWorld Cabaret. Soooooo, little ol’ yours truly found ourselves seated at a table with fellow BroadwayWorld contributor, Stephen Mosher, to catch the act of jazz vocalist supreme, Nicole Henry, in her July 15th return to the NYC hot spot. And speaking of, on an excessively warm night when the hood was hot as Hell’s Kitchen with Satan’s Mama cooking family dinner, the only thing more sizzling than the pavement outside was the stage inside. Stepping to the mic in a gorgeous, form-hugging, fire-engine red evening dress, Nicole kicked off the night with a slow-burn rendition of the Gershwin/Heyward aria SUMMERTIME. Beginning at a tempo so slow as to heighten the sensual agony of the music in the first few bars, her four-piece combo then snuck in some bounce to the beat, and we were off to the races. As the beats intensified, Nicole’s voice took over the room with her full range and power, so much so that one could have wondered where she could go from here… but then she went there.

Johnny Horton was an American country music singer and songwriter born on April 30, 1925, in Los Angeles, California. He was known for his distinctive voice and narrative style, often singing historical and patriotic songs. Horton’s career peaked in the late 1950s and early 1960s with hits like “The Battle of New Orleans,” which won him a Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Performance in 1960, and “North to Alaska,” from the movie of the same name. Tragically, Horton died in a car accident on November 5, 1960, cutting short what was a promising career in country music. His legacy lives on through his influential music, which continues to be celebrated for its storytelling and distinctive sound.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
