A Tribute to Paul Reubens
Many people seem to remember the great Paul Reubens for his less than glorious 1991 charges involving a popcorn bucket and a porno. But I like to remember him as the kooky? zanny? crazy? creepy? Pee Wee Herman. Or even better - for his role in Blow (great movie by the way - if you haven't seen it make it happen!).
I know I'm not alone in my appreciation of him but even I was surprised when one of Paul Reubens' biggest fans showed up in the strangest of places last night. On my television, smack dab in the middle of my American Idol.
I had no idea that Jermaine Sellers had such love for the man. But clearly after the bow tie / gray jacket / forehead poof presentation he gave, there can be no doubt. Maybe next week he will paint his face blue and honor the amazing John Paragon (aka Jambi the Genie.)

I LOVE Pee Wee Herman! I still say that he got a bad rap. He was in an adult place that is known for such things. There are singers that sing and do worse things on stage and they get away with it. At the time of his arrest, Madonna was simulating the same exact thing on STAGE for an audience that included minors. It's all perspective and $$$. Sad. I'm glad he's back.
