Well shit. May we all live to 91 and may our work & lives be even a fraction as brilliant, witty, and consciousness-shaping as Sondheim’s was for so many people and so many years.
I hope many of you are going to join me in a *strong* martini & sing-a-long of the complete works.

@nytimes
— that’s racist. You can’t just randomly put a mainstay Chinese restaurant as the picture for this story. Neither chinatown nor China is directly involved in this case, plus also don’t say “psychotic.” Fuck you, your mom, and everybody she knows.

If you want to go completely crazy, read the corporate argle-bargle these people need to use to justify shutting down the BBC singers. It’s basically a little pinball machine of buzzwords into which they release a ferret. It’s short-sighted and criminally *ugly* behavior.
Shameful.
@BBCSingers
is one of the leading advocates of choral music in the world and their budget probably equals one sports presenter’s salary. The BBC corporate spin on it is beyond belief.
