I love seeing shows at the Greek Theatre. It's like the Hollywood Bowl, but much smaller & more intimate. My fave was Stevie Ray Vaughn in the '80s.
It's also right up the hill from Los Feliz, which still affects a pretty righteous prewar vibe.

Perhaps it meant each chorine is so close to being a girl already you can't tell the difference, mostly.
"Mostly Girls"?

I'm not sure I really want to know what the rest of them were!
