Should I plug things I'm not going to be able to see? There's an argument both ways. But here's go nothing - basically because the press release for this video screening really tickled my fancy:

See the incredible but TRUE story of the homeless man whose lyrics & fearless singing style took the Chicago music scene By Storm! Composer of such songs as “I Whupped Batman’s Ass”, “Kris Kringle was a Car Thief” and countless others, Willis was the ultimate Outsider Artist.“Wesley Willis: Joyrides” is a unique documentary experience about one man’s journey out of homelessness and schizophrenia to Rock-n-Roll Redemption.

CHANNEL ZERO, Boston’s Cheapest Entertainment Franchise now in it’s sixteenth year of genteel video transcendence.
I know - it just screams out The Hub Review, doesn't it? On the other hand, I personally dig anyone who follows his or her own rules of capitalization, wherever they may lead - and who's not a fan of "genteel video transcendence"? Tonight! "Wesley Willis's Joy Rides" - be there or be square! Rock on, Channel Zero!
