OK, as a general rule, I think this is kind of odd. However, I do have one particular subway sighting that I remember, just because I found the circumstances highly amusing (in a sad sort of way).
It was the day after Wicked opened and who should I spot on the uptown 1, but Joe Mantello. He was glaring rather dejectedly straight ahead. What is he glaring at, you ask? The woman in the seat across from him reading the New York Times Arts and Entertainment section with Brantley's (shall we say) less than stellar review of Wicked there for all (and poor Joe) to see. I don't remember what the headline was now, but it wasn't very pretty. "Something Rotten in the State of Oz," or something to that effect.
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
