The Tallest Man on Earth – June 1st – The Ogden Theatre
The term “suspension of disbelief” has been referred to as an audience’s willingness to overlook the implausibility of a premise or narrative in favor of entertainment. Case in point: Folk singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson, also known as The Tallest Man on Earth, is 30, married and Swedish. He’s also not particularly tall, much less the tallest (Google suggests he is 5’7″). Yet, at Matsson’s show at the Ogden Theatre last Saturday, you could have sworn people were there to see the Paul Bunyan-Woody Guthrie equivalent of Justin Timberlake.
