Weekend Picks: 'Star Wars' Like You've Never Seen It Before

The weekend is almost upon us, so it's time to start thinking about ideas for things to do.

He’s just about always wearing star-shaped sunglasses and in the song “Bootzilla” he calls himself a “rhinestone rock star monster of a doll.” Expect a mélange of hard funk, psychedelia, crooning ballads, sassy songs about the ladies and musings about extraterrestrials.
