Just laughed at my own joke from 3 years ago

I’D BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS

Literally half the members of C+C Music Factory AND Milli Vanilli are dead

They finally brought a factory back to the U.S.

One thing that terrible arts managers never seem to understand is that musicians and artists WANT to work. If they just wanted to be paid for doing as little work as possible, they would have chosen another career.

<Everyone else:> we don't

Could the Barrie Kosky FLUTE be the most ubiquitous production in opera history? It's been in LA at least 4 times; and produced in more than 40 cities, often repeatedly. This must be a record, no?

Got a notification from a medieval copyright lawyer

I, too, wish that Dmitri Shostakovich had written "Jesus Christ Superstar"

Korn? Sounds like an industry plant...

one of my favorite weird overlaps in history is that Dmitri Shostakovich not only lived to see “Jesus Christ Superstar” but loved it and wished he had written it

Announcer on this Amtrak: “I suggest, even urge you to go outside while we change over the engine here at New Haven, it’s a beautiful day. But do not go into the station, there’s nothing useful for you there.” Then he repeated the last point later. Harsh but fair
