  • Passion

    When I first heard Stephen Sondheim’s Passion years and years ago I absolutely hated it. I thought it was boring and didn’t go anywhere. Now it is one of my favorite Sondheim scores – if only because it is so singable – especially for the male characters. For the devolution of Sweeney Todd I admire […]

  • John Kerry's Vietnam Testimony, 30 Years Ago

    DemocracyNow has a rare broadcast of John Kerry’s testimony before the Senate Foreing Relations Committee, 30 year ago: The country doesn’t realize it yet but it has created a monster in the form of thousands of men who have been taught to deal and trade in violence and who are given the chance to die […]

  • Send Flowers to a San Fran Same-Sex Couple

  • U. S. Nation Debt Surpasses $7 Trillion

    Ron worked the flight from Chicago to San Fran and then Burbank and back. He said the plane was packed with same-sex couples flying in to San Fran to take advantage of this brief window in history where we edged towards equal civil rights for everybody. He said there was the cutest white-asian lesbian couple […]

  • Vasqy! Vasqy!

    My sister just called to announce that Jenette Goldstein – better known as super-butch, illegal-alien/alien-asskicker Vasquez from Aliens was on 24 tonight. She is also the Irish mother reading to her kids as they quietly drown in Titanic (that and the couple holding hands in bed as the water rises are the two most striking […]

  • Unborn Victims of Violence Act

    Here we go again. The House is expected to vote on this on February 26th. Is this giving due weight to the murder of an expecting mom or a backdoor into overturning Roe v. Wade? Evidently the bill, “explicitly provides that it does not apply to any abortion to which a woman has consented, to […]
