I thought Bono was cool. Unpretentious, at ease with an extremely difficult situation, sympathetic to investors and deadlines, forthright about Julie without being catty, humble about wanting to learn, and candid that he felt there were problems as well and didn't disagree with the NYT. I give him an A+ on this.

Jordan, I have always found your comments wry and insightful and free from any real malice.

In future years this will be seen as an epic piece of genius on the scale of stravinski's rite of spring, which was initially met with riots, and now is seen as the seminal piece that ushered in twentieth century composition, which broke the hold of classicism. One day the incredible depth of Bono and taymor's genius will be studied as that moment in popular culture where a new age of theatrical expression flowered for the first time, only to wilt at first rush from the unrelenting and savage...

sometimes it is inspired! and has launched many a mega star, from belushi, to murphy to fey...and many others! it is like a comfortable favorite sweater that just fits right. i don't watch it all the time, and soetimes it has been dreadful, i admit, but i am just glad it is still there. even if it is mainly populated by writers from the harvard mafia that are sometimes woefullly out of touch and too smug for their own goood.

Or, a Spider-Man pinata that swings out over the audience, and everyone gets to swing at it with sticks they are given on the way in. When it splits open, cash falls out and everyone underneath can get into a lather grabbing for the money.

that's the scene that stopped the performance I saw as well.

so juicy. it's not about eliminating the character. jmho.

i think this is outstanding. i subscribe to the opera and la phil, but i will now add ctg, without a question!

yeh, i think you aree right, i have been doing contracts for my music scorees for twenty years and they are all the same, whether universal, sony or warner brothers, etc. i get my share of e performance royalties, but it is a work for hire, they own the copyright, though i am the author of the copyrighted work, they retian the rights and can do what they want with it. however they use it, i still get my share of the royalties.

i stand by my guess. the exposition laden prologue is a dreadful bore imho and runs on wayyyy to long for a show about sm, and the shoe number obviously goes, the beatuiful tapestry thing stays, nicest part of show visually, and then who knows....

they arent cutting arachne, it say reduced role, probably means cutting down that endless opening dreadfully boring dramatically dull exposition at the top of act one...blowing off the shoe number and thats it....

i didnt find it funny, didnt think the impersonation was very good, and didnt think it was very well written. i found it too soft. too apologetic. didnt go for the jugular enough. not enuf brutal characterisation of the sanctimonious, self importan auteur type of artist.

i just hope like heck she decides to pose nude for playboy. i think that would be so hot. like all gummied up in a spider web or something.

She might just be busy being a mom, she had a kid awhile back. I worked with her on a bunch of stuff. She and her husband are so amazingly talented and sane. They could sight read stuff off the page and be ready to record in almost real time.

This is just so juicy!

excuz typos ipad.....

what is so good is that composrs lyricists book writer and director all get their money on gross proceeds, so Taymoe bono and edge make a lot of money on this every week, not to menrion their no doubt considerable upfront creative fees. and julie will continue to make that as along as it runs. not that any of them need the money. i am just quietly happy tha bja with his little tree piece punk band was able to mount a musical that ran for a year and now goes on to other markets. i always thoug...

I think Julie is hot.

what a burn.
