"Though I actually like Piazza and think it's a beautiful show, I hate it when people insist that if you didn't like or see the appeal of something, you didn't understand it. That's so insulting... is it that difficult to imagine that a show just might not have been one person's cup of tea, even though they fully understood what it was trying to say?"


I don't see anyone here saying that. AS amatter of fact I made a point of saying that if one didn't like it, they didn't get it. I persaonlly was responding to the critics problems with it. It's the same as saying that I didn't like Mamma Mia because the score wasn't catchy enough. That's just a foolish observation and if I felt that way I obviously missed something. That was my response to the Farber review. I actually didn't mention the mistake he made either. Even if he got all the facts straight, he still didn't seem to get the show. I could care less if it wasn't his cup of tea as long as he was infomed as to why it wasn't his cup of tea.

All this hoo-ha over something a critic wrote for something called THE DAILY BREEZE?!?

Get a grip, folks! It's all subjective, and everyone has an . . . opinion.

For what it's worth, I disagree with him COMPLETELY! But so what? It's just another point of view, informed by one lifetime's perspective.

Get upset over things that REALLY matter.

Oh PLEASE DG. Really...it's a discussion on a board. I'm certainly not losing sleep over it. It was posted and people are reacting. You act as if people are distraught over it. I may have a specific opinion but that doesn't mean I don't immediately forget about BWW when I walk away from the computer. Seriously...this is what you call a hoo-ha?

Jazzy - I'll change my 'get a grip' to apply to just you!

I get the forum, and I get the parameters. My comments were only in response to the posts already presented.

You might do well to forget BWW before you start posting, as opposed to after.
