Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Why I added the subtitle to the Subject heading, newintown... I had the same thought as you, just decided to subtly jab at it.

Also, thanks Sauja for indulging in your boredom and statistics. Kind of struck by the indifference JANIS is seeing in this list, and I'll happily be the outlier on the LES MIS revival because I'll never understand the need to keep seeing the same shows over and over and over... then again it's good to remember who's scoring what highly and I'll happily be the one to go see JANIS and rawk out.
