IRL, Herb’s sister is an old college friend of mine - it is very entertaining, but lots of sidelong references to the ups and downs of being a near-star singer - to describe Kiki as melodramatic doesn’t quite do it justice… ---

[QUOTE=astro] Why yes… she is my daughter, thank you for asking! [/QUOTE] Hmm..in my neck of the woods, the question “is she hot,” when the she in question is the deponent’s daughter, is typically followed by a vicious beating of the interrogator. But maybe we’re psychopaths down here. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Operation Ripper] What’s not ok to take a 19 year old to see? [/QUOTE] It’s less an issue of moral appropriateness, and more one of whether a bright 19 YO would “get it” and enjoy it. There are some shows that are pretty hardcore & adult oriented, and would really require some mature some life experience & adult context to appreciate them fully. ---
