Margaret Cho is so prolific and expansive that it's easy to forget how much of a prodigy she was in the early-mid 90s. The seeds of the eclectic, one-of-a-kind Renaissance woman are evident in her entrancing debut, 'Drunk With Power.' The seeds themselves, jokes and stories about body image, family, and community, are extraordinary in their own right. Her openness, neurotic misadventures and fearless impersonations, spill out with cartoonish candor. Margaret Cho is a first generation All-American badass from San Francisco. She paints her world filled with embarrassing moms and annoying drug dealers in broad, visceral strokes. Drunk With Power, released in 1996, is one of the best representations of the decade's unfeathered, multicultural free-for-all. Many standouts of the emergent, unaffected, Gen X, slacker counterculture were being given a platform by the mainstream, Margaret included. Some groups, identities and communities were being featured for the first time, by those people, for those people, again, like Margaret. Margaret Cho's stand up is the unapologetic blast of class, race, gender, sexuality, and politics. Drunk With Power is fresh and vibrant, opinionated but unpretentious, a wonderful comedy album.
