Osophy on Commenting, Why Not To
You can’t argue with stupid.
The Schwartz Modulation
I’d like to introduce the term “Schwartz Modulation” to the Musical Theater community.
I want to start by saying that I have the utmost respect for Mr. Schwartz, as I believe he is a fantastic and prolific composer.

Remember: that means no voice calls, text messages, emails, mobile web, or anything else getting into or out of your mobile phone. Do you have a landline? What if that should fail as well? It probably will because the system will be jammed with people trying to call one another.
On Original Sentiment
Facebook – at least my Facebook feed – is turning into a bunch of advertising for brands and products via people ’liking’ them, 1+ day old meme posts that were already reposted on Reddit, and cutesy videos. Where’s the original content?
