Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll

Review of Eric Bogosian's one man show ... 1991

Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll | Movie Review | Entertainment Weekly

"In Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, the monologist Eric Bogosian, appearing on a mostly bare stage in Boston's Wilbur Theater, creates 10 vividly diverse characters. The facility with which he leaps from one to the next — from crotchety New York street person to narcissistic rock star, from complacent suburban consumer to impoverished, self-loathing urban lunatic — is so staggering that his chameleonic brilliance practically becomes the subject of the movie."

In any event, the following pretty much sums things up for me:
