DR MattH the bottom 3 were: allison, megan and anoop. And megan got into a big
"fight" with simon!  I disagree with you that megan leaving was well deserved. I
really liked her. I thought she chose her songs poorly. And it was clear that she
did not have a lot of stage experience. But i thought she sounded so different
than anyone else. And she is quite beautiful. I would have much rather than

Looking forward to SURVIVOR tonight.

[Jrand73]

I was sort of sad to see Life on Mars end last night.....

What did you think of the ending?

No problem for me....BUT it was only the second episode I have seen. 

[William F. Orr]

So, now that we know that Jerry Colker is alive and well and living in Los Angeles...

And I think I've told this story before, but...

When Virginia Commonwealth University decided to mount a production of Three Guys Naked from the Waist Down, the director and I tried to contact Michael Rupert and Jerry Colker since we wanted to see if they were interested in writing some updates to the script and score - mainly for the "American Dream" sequence which was basically a musical time-travel sequence.  We got a hold of Michael, but no one could find Jerry Colker.  No one.  We even got a hold of his original agent at William-Morris, and he had no idea where he was.

Well... Thanks to Google...

Yes indeed, you told it here a couple of years ago, and there was some discussion of the Amazing Disappearing Musical Writer.  I did a bit of Googling then and could find nothing but mention of a little work he did writing for television, but nothing recent.

So thank you , Jose, for discovering Jerry's re-emergence.  I must say, he looks very much like he did thirty years ago.  I think about half the audience swooned when he made his entrance in Pippin.  Which is better than what happened to Mike Rupert that night: when he made his entrance a very rude queen smack in the center of the orchestra section screamed out, "He's Jewish!"

Since my everloving Joe had two herniated disks last November, it might indeed be worth e-mailing Mr. Colker...

I really enjoyed last night's show. IT was interesting to fill in some of the blanks
about kate and what happened with aaron. And also finding out the reason she
decided to go back. Good reason!  The part that confused me a bit was the end
with older ben and locke. Is that supposed to be 2007? Are they in the present
or the past? It was pretty cool though seeing ben's reaction at seeing locke again.

We are still on Heron Watch. Luckily, I have an electric outlet in the backyard.

Good Afternoon!

Greetings from the Offices/Rehearsal Studios of Charleston Stage.

I was able to run a couple of errands while en route, and I only had to deal with only one almost-flooded out road on the way here.  I'm hoping it stays "almost-flooded out" when I return to my apartment later tonight.

[DAW]

We are still on Heron Watch. Luckily, I have an electric outlet in the backyard.

Is that handy for the blender to make the margaritas, or to operate the cattle prod?

[Laura]

William F. Orr, DR Sandra just read your message in Esperanto and says dankon.

DR WFO - You're very welcome.

-And there's nothing like hearing that Pippin story directly from Michael Rupert - and watching him relive that moment in his face.

It runs the karaoke machine on Friday nights.

[DAW]

Laura DR, is there some sort of fine mesh netting that could be suspended slightly above the surface of the fish pond that wouldn't block visually but would still deter theft?

[William F. Orr]

TOD:

Probably my most played CDs are Larry Moore's Kander and Ebb Album and his Alan J. Lerner Album, both with incidental vocals by Brent Barrett, whom I saw, btw, with Jerry Colker in West Side Story when both were understudies.

[Laura]

I'll have to come up with something, DAW. I chased it away hours ago, and it is sitting in the neighbor's tree, just waiting for me to go inside. Sandra has squirted it twice.

[bk]

Finally finished addressing and will now go get some lunch.

[DAW]

I'll have to come up with something, DAW.

Have you considered karaoke?         

[Jrand73]

Oh dear, I just watched the remake of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. 

I wish they had called it something else and started with a different premise.  So many of the decisions they made really destroyed the brilliance of the original screenplay.  Casting of Jaden Smith didn't help.

[Jrand73]

Thunderstorms and rain predicted for this evening!!

[William F. Orr]

Alphabetical Musicals Project:

I finished Dance a Little Closer this morning on my way into work.  For those of you who don't know it (it ran one night on Broadway), you may know some of the songs from the above-mentioned Alan J. Lerner Album.  It contains some other gems.  There is "Mad", where Lerner displays some of the verbal pyrotechniques you know from "Come Back to Me."

And there is also "I Don't Know/Anyone Who Loves", what one is wont to call "ahead of its time".  A debate between an Anglican priest and others on same-sex marriage, one of the grooms being played by the above-mentioned World's Sexiest Man Alive.  I don't think this scene was in the original Sherwood Anderson play Idiot's Delight, on which it is based, or in the Clark Gable movie.

Next, the alphabet will be temporarily interrupted as I listen to the four Kritzerland CDs that arrived yesterday.  I tremble with antici

[Laura]

Make that thrice.

[Jrand73]

LOL DR WFO.

I think I will switch to the Mac.

The Culprit

[Matt H.]

I was sort of sad to see Life on Mars end last night.....

I was, too. I have thoroughly enjoyed the show, and I think the cast has the same kind of dazzling chemistry that THE CLOSER cast shares. I will very much miss seeing these actors working together on this entertaining and involving series.

I'll miss it too, but I sort of like the idea of a series that runs for so long and ends.  It stays fresh the entire time

Well, it could have run two or three years and likely have remained fresh. Most shows start to peter out after that time unless they can reinvent themselves (as LOST and '24' have been able to do). Not everything has to run as long as ER or LAW & ORDER.

[Matt H.]

I could not disagree more about Megan on AMERICAN IDOL. She sounded like a bleating goat last night, completely and totally unbearable, and most weeks she hasn't sounded much better whether well or ill. She was my least favorite singer since the finals started.

[Matt H.]

I underdressed for my lunch outing today. Got in the restaurant where ceiling fans were running, and I got very chilly. I hadn't worn a jacket, only a long sleeved shirt, and it wasn't enough.

[Matt H.]

When I got in, I began watching HAWAII FIVE-O. The season premiere had to do with an assassin with hooks for hands. He had marked four police officers as being responsible for robbing him of his hands (naturally, he himself was to blame, not them).

[Matt H.]

The second episode was unusual and very entertaining concerning a psychotic who read a comic strip about a young girl being at the mercy of thieves and thugs each morning and believed what he was reading was true, so he set out to be a guardian angel to the girl and went on a killing spree wiping out people who resembled the bad guys in the comic strip.

Audrey Totter was a guest star but really not in a principal part; she only had one scene.

[Matt H.]

I only got halfway through the third episode but it concerns bubonic plague being brought into Hawaii from a European boat carrying rats infested with fleas carrying the disease. McGarrett went on board investigating and now must be quarantined.

[Matt H.]

BTW, James MacArthur still looks dreamy. These episodes are from 1974-75.

[Jrand73]

DR LAURA that heron has GUILT written all over his beak.

Yes, DR MATT H - James MacArthur is the main reason i like the movies THE LIGHT IN THE FOREST and THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN.
