Yoshimi battles Broadway
I'm not sure how much stock I'm putting into this, but EW.com is reporting that Wayne Coyne and Aaron Sorkin (!) are teaming up to produce a Broadway musical based on the Flaming Lips' album "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots." Crazy, right?
I'm not sure who they think their audience will be. I know I, for one, as a fan of the album, am curious to see what how this might turn out, but I already have my own version of Yoshimi, that black belt in karate, sketched out in my head. Truth be told, I like to think about it while I'm running. And, in this play in my head, I'm Yoshimi. I'm also really not a fan of Aaron Sorkin, so I don't want him to mess it up for me.
