speak for yourself.
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 5/13/07 at 11:01amWe could do it like John Doyle, everyone in the world would be themselves, and also play an instrument. Accompany each other.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

I think it would be better titled "why life can't be a musical"
In an alternate universe, I would only request to sing the Money Song with Joel Grey and have the body to fit into that black outfit that Liza M wore. hey, I can dream

because i don't want to hear my friends attempting to sing.
I also don't think it would work because usually everyone is very cheery and when they're sad its usually resolved within 30 minutes, whereas real life is kind of depressing and it would take years to fix certain issues.
But, I would love to sing with Hunter Foster.

Now *why* the h*ll cant my life be like that?????
