BORIS THE SPRINKLER
...Gay! (Go-kart)
Reviewed by Holly Day

---

Fans of daytime TV may remember the inspirational episode of Jenny Jones when "Celebrity Crushes" united Boris the Sprinkler's Rev. Norb with a doting, underage fan who inadvertently introduced the Green Bay, Wisconsin, resident to the world of network TV for the first time. Rumors flew that Norb would have his own talk show soon after the episode aired, but alas-never happened. Luckily, he's apparently content to continue to front the goofy, geeky, bouncy, strangely cool punk rock band Boris the Sprinkler, touching on everything from subjects close to his heart (shaving, dogs, and Green Bay) to more universally-important subjects like Taco Bell, rock'n'roll, and trains on this new record. Cartoonist Stan Lee was very impressed to hear out these guys dress as his X-men on stage sometimes, apparently completely unaware of how much influence comic books have had on punk rock over the years.
