We all knew Steven Wright was on to something with his 1985 Grammy-nominated CD, I Have a Pony…but did he? It took 22 years to make another CD but not for lack of lackluster or deadpan-ability. I Still Have A Pony, released on Comedy Central Records last month, proves that he’s still got it…Pony and all.
's been almost two weeks since the Saturday Springsteen show in Philadelphia and it hasn't diminished in stature one bit. As the Magic tour moves on, the setlists will most certainly become more diverse and the performances increasingly stronger.
