I used to spend a lot of time at Cicada and dropped off going for a while, now have started going again. Not much has changed, which is the problem. Went to Richard Halpern's 1920's review last night. There is nothing wrong with Richard Halpern, but I for one would like to see other people at this 1920's event, Richard seems to do the same songs every time. ""Maxwell Demille"" has gone from being kind of a novelty to somewhat unbearable. He really has no talent in front of a mic. He really made a lot of the customers angry last night when he cracked a very unfunny joke about his coat check girl ( who is by the way both very beautiful and VERY talented).This made a lot of the Cicada regulars mad because Mather who has more talent then all of the other female singers combined.
