Lally Exposes and Exposed

Being initiated into the world of Michael Lally with his first BSP collection IT'S NOT NOSTALGIA, was like coming up for a much needed breath of fresh air. This guy wasn't afraid to act tough, or be soft, to claim his many likes and dislikes. No poetic posing here. You hear the term "confessional" but THIS is it baby. And again with the latest BSP collection. The Irish/hipster/jazzy/acting/writing/admiring/rapping/loving/remembering dude lays it all out. My faves in this collection: "The Man Who Was Too Sensitive," "Everything," Bada-Bing Bada-Brando," "Side Story," "The Rain Trilogy," "Secret Love," "Loose Cannon." I could and should go on, but I won't. I want to keep some of it for myself. Can't wait for more from Lally!
