It's no secret that Mercury film editor Erik Henriksen has a phobia of movie sing-a-longs. Whenever one comes up on the schedule he usually handles it by tactfully describing which act of suicide the idea inspires him to commit. But you know what?

The Purple Rain Sing Out is at the Bagdad, doors at 8, film at 9, for only $5 (21+).
