Life's a drag for Eva...
Tonight’s show takes in everything from Early Mornin’ Rain to The Wee Small Hours. The theme is ‘parts of the day’ and it’s been suggested by Kenny in Glasgow. We’re getting lots of stuff in, so get in quick if you have a suggestion. Leave a comment on the blog or send me an e-mail if you like.
Several people have asked for Barry McGuire’s 1965 protest song, Eve of Destruction. I always thought that Eva Destruction would make a good ‘drag’ name, which funnily enough is the one branch of showbiz I’ve not tried my hand at yet.
Sadly, a quick internet search reveals I’ve been beaten to the name. It seems that Miss Eva Destruction is one of America’s top lady wrestlers! She claims to be a “Super Heel, Brawler & Power Wrestler” who has, according to her website, “the power of a big woman, and the agility of a gymnast.” Mind you if she'd been described as having "the power o' a big wumman" then I would have been really afraid!
I have now wasted a fair chunk of my afternoon looking at lady wrestling sites and have learned that Eva doesn’t even have the best name. Others who can be found grunting and grappling in the ring include Erotica D’Vine, Hollie Wood, Violet Flame and my new favourite lady wrestler, Miss Allison Wonderland.
