BoDeans yes, Naked Boys no
Millwaukee, the city that locked up George Carlin for aggravated potty mouth, has shut down the performance of "Naked Boys Singing," which is just what the title sounds like.
The mayor's office intervened to make sure hometown favorites the BoDeans could play an outdoor gig downtown, but the city bureaucracy and police department swung into action when a homophobic street preacher complained about the naked boys.
Technically, the show was shut down because the Gay Arts Center didn't have the right license. That must be why the police Vice Squad got involved.
Eye on Wisconsin reports that the gay community wonders whether this is the right police priority in the midst of a violent crime spree.

The story also says Barrett was vacation again. Clearing B(r)ush somewhere? If he AND his chief of staff go on vacation at the same time, they are telling the public that no one is in charge and things can and will slide. This is what happened when they and their development director went out of town as PabstCity was brewing. Read Council President Hines's blast at them in last Sunday's Journal Sentinel editorial section over vacations.
Ummm yeah, no kidding. Of course NOBODY wanted to see a bunch of guys singing outside in downtown Milwaukee.
