Growing like Mr. T's mohawk: a 4-day arts & entertainment outlook

We at Sootoday's arts and entertainment pages are pleased to provide positive proof that the legacy of professional wrestling world has never quite dimished and, in fact, has crossed into the world of kitsch cool. Although the "Chia Mr. T." was one of pop culture's most ingenious ideas, we are not entirely sure that the green hair suits our gold-chained friend. A "Chia Dennis Rodman" would have been an entirely different story - green hair and seedy. Yup, that sounds like our friend Rodman. Sootoday's 4-day arts and entertainment outlook offers you a pleuthera of possibilities for the purveyor of pleasing entertainment. Although we are sure that our readers have seen this one coming from a mile away...we do in fact "pity the fool" who doesn't use the 4-day arts and entertainment outlook to find something more interesting to do than watching A-Team re-runs on cable.

If you have any other arts-related events or activities that you would like to add to our page, email us at [email protected].
