| It seems you want to stay in the circle you've constructed for yourself, the centrifugal force perhaps being too much for you to escape. I compliment you on your full-throttle defense of your affection for traditionalism. I wish you could undertake it without that chronic need to assume you have the only "right" answer, something most of us know is impossible in matters of taste, but so be it. I appreciate your spirit if not your reluctance to consider. I notice, for example, that you resist engaging on the multiple matters I have mentioned that ask you to consider something outside of your catechism. Again, so be it. You seemingly refuse to consider that what you call "standards" are not fixed and that many of the things you call truths ring quite false to many. You say "we" speak of a golden age, when what you mean is you do. Many of those who envision a different golden age today are not hacks; they are skilled and fastidious craftspeople. You just don't like their definition of craft. I think I have made clear that I am not trying to drag you out of your own taste. I do hope, however, that someday you become willing to peek out from behind the thick walls of that fortress in which you have locked yourself. Look, they kicked you out of the antique shop; there's hope! Remember: resonance. storytelling. I usually say there are no rules. What I mean is, those are the only two. :-) Peace. |

| With apologies to the immortal words of Hammerstein, Someday, we'll build a home on a hilltop high, You and I, Shiny and new, A FORTRESS that two Can fill. And we'll be pleased to be called The folks who live on the hill. ...and I shall look out with my binoculars, down upon the rocks below to see the scattered remains of all those woeful pop lyricized musicals that attempted to scale the heights and were found wanting ... chief amongst them, Yoko Ono's "Lennon" ... and, probably still previewing, "SPIDERMAN!!" All the best. |

| You made my day! I never thought I would see a reference (and a lovely one at that) to such a beloved Kern-Hammerstein musical on ATC. Sadly it is mostly forgotten, although TCM has shown it recently. | |
