Self-proclaimed legend/child actor Corey Feldman dazzled his fans at the Korova with a set of his original material. The man who starred in The Goonies, Stand By Me and License To Drive has been making music of questionable merit for over thirty-years now. He has released about five albums too.
He was in town to make an appearance at Alamo City Comic Con earlier that day. His twenty-song set lasted about two-hours and felt even longer. Many of those songs were from his newest album, Angelic 2 The Core. His band, The Angels, five females all dressed in angel wings and halos, were a serviceable band. Corey, despite having been up since 6 AM, had a remarkable amount of energy. Corey took a few short breaks every few songs, for a costume change as the Angels played on.
Also making an appearance at Comic Con was fellow Goonie star Jonathan Ke Quan (aka Data!!).
Ke Quan also hopped onstage with Corey and they (with significant support from The Angels) treated us to a rousing rendition of "The Goonies R Good Enough" by Cyndi Lauper. I have to admit, it was pretty special, not to mention surreal, seeing this all happen before my very eyes. This was basically the (mid) show-stopper. Corey also covered The Beatles' "Why Don't We Do It In The Road", with Mr. Feldman himself on drums and vocals. He pulled this off quite well. Who knew he could play the drums?
If this wasn't enough. I got to meet the man himself at a meet and greet in the basement of the venue a good hour after the show ended. Corey was perfectly gracious and nice. He signed a few things and took a photo with me as well.
Come to think of it, the guy really IS a legend.
