I am having a happy day, thank you. Only warmer weather would make me happier. And I don't think there is anything life shattering in anything we discuss in this or most other threads. But I do think there are times that we learn something by standing back from the minutiae and assessing the state of an art form that we all obvious care about in broad terms. For someone (like the author of the article) who obviously is not inclined to bore down into the details, there is a notion-and not one that's especially pleasant-that musical theatre writing has become stupid. That ought to give you more pause than the miscellaneous errors you catalog, IMO. But I understand there were also folks rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
