There are a lot of oddities one spots when wandering around Las Vegas, as you might imagine. Actually, you probably don't have to do much wandering. The monumental over-hype nearly everywhere is high on the list and hard to select one that stands out. Occasionally, too, there are shows that make a play for getting on the Odd List.
One that has leapt out for me is a show that's playing at the Venetian. It's called Human Nature: The Motown Show. It's four white guys singing, I guess, the hits of Motown. Because nothing says "Motown" like four white guys. (The show is "Presented by" Smoky Robinson. I don't know what he was thinking. Actually, I think we probably do. But still...) Of course, the truth is that they might be perfectly talented. And I suspect that, within reason, they are. But still... And yes, I believe that four white guys -- or just one -- should be able to sing the hits of Motown whenever and wherever they want. And do it perhaps wonderfully. Or not. But still -- nothing says "Motown" like four white guys.
