Search - Eric Bogosian :: Pounding Nails in the Floor With My Forehead

An album on which Bogosian--actor (Talk Radio, Under Siege 2, Deconstructing Harry), playwright (Suburbia), and stand-up philosopher--records the one-man show of the title for posterity. Over the course of the disc, he portrays characters as varied as a homeless subway resident out to infect the world with bits of himself, an infomercial-style motivational speaker with a surprising message, an Easy Rider-wannabe drug dealer, a recovering male, and even a Bogosian wannabe. And while he's dead-on when he impersonates an audience member at the show--"What's so great about him? All he does is play assholes. I have enough assholes in my life already. Who needs one more?"--his self-honesty makes the album no less entertaining, engaging, or worth listening to. --Randy Silver
