Kevin Costner seemed to be on top of the movie world. Handsome. Charming. Known to be the dead guy in the tuxedo that Lawrence Kasdan left on the cutting room floor at the start of The Big Chill. He was on a roll.
Then came a day in late July 1995. Waterworld was released. And arguably Costner's career, if not entirely submerged, at least became all wet.
Which was brought to mind by the name of the tour that has been announced by an individual "[W]idely considered amongst the greatest performers in modern musical history," a tour that "promises to be the most extravagant stage spectacle" of this extravagant spectacle's career. As the news release, from which those quotes are extracted, breathlessly announces in the headline: "Superstar's Back on Stage After 8 Year Absence." Yes, we're talking about Madonna.
The name of the tour (and why do tours have names?): The Drowned World Tour.
It "promises to be an ecstatic celebration of artistry and technology." Sort of sounds like what Costner had been up to, too.
(BTW, Sab: The Palace, August 25. And for you in the Great City, United Center, the 28th.)
