I have a rarity!

[DERBRUCER]

DRMBARNUM - I think you and Freddy are featured in today's ZIGGY cartoon.

See it HERE

[DERBRUCER]

As they said, this new pressing does not include the CD, so those that bought the first pressing now have a rarity.

You mean that other disc wasn't a souvenir coaster

Thanks for the link DRderBRUCER.

LOL, cute cartoon!

I always thought Ziggy cartoons were sort of odd.

[Ron Pulliam]

I have a rarity!

Well....take something for it, go to bed, and don't you dare pass it on to the rest of us!

Just finished reading the liner notes for the Arch Hall Jr. CD...it was very interesting. What fun that whole group of people had, and I have to hand it to Arch Hall Sr. for his initiative!

I think this weekend I will pick up THE CHOPPERS and DEADWOOD '76...not sure about the NASTY RABBIT...have you seen that one JRand54 or Rodzinski?

[vixmom]

NASTY RABBIT...

pulling other people's hare is a nasty rabbit

[vixmom]

I have a rarity!

[DERBRUCER]

I SPENT TWENTY MINUTES CHATTING WITH MYSELF AND I FEAR I MIGHT GO BLIND!

HOW UNSEEMLY IS A HOSTLESS CHAT

[vixmom]

Well....take something for it, go to bed, and don't you dare pass it on to the rest of us!

oops great minds and all that....

Robert Goulet?  I think Robert Stack must have been better in the first production.  Robert Goulet?

Actually Robert Stack never made it into the first production. During rehersal it was decided things weren't working out and he quietly left. I do remember a full page add with him standing in the middle of Broadway in front of the Palace announcing his return to Broadway.

I can't remember who I saw in in it...surely one of you can tell me  - it was the Wednesday matinee,  October 14, 1987 - who played the leads?

[vixmom]

I am already round

[vixmom]

Okay I must go out into the pouring rain to drive a miserable 30 miles home in mumper tomumper traffic....at least I'll have Ben's voice to keep me company on the way home.....laters

[Jrand73]

As long as my rarity isn't bothering me, just leave me alone with it.

[Jrand73]

Actually I saw THE NASTY RABBIT at the drive-in when it came out, but I remember NOTHING about it.

[bk]

Chat in less than two hours.

[bk]

It is now pouring rain.

One of my main favorites from TV's Golden Age:

The usually reliant THEATRE WORLD 1987-1988 omits the Broadway production of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, but at the end of the 1986-87 season (May 31, 1987)  the stars were Peter Marshall and Keen Curtis.  I assume they were still playing the roles in October 1987.

Charles Pogue, writing as Frank Rich in the NY Times: (bolding is mine)

The God Racket, From DeMille to DeLay

… it's clear that one principle, so firmly upheld by DeMille, has remained inviolate no matter what the courts have to say: American moguls, snake-oil salesmen and politicians looking to score riches or power will stop at little if they feel it is in their interests to exploit God to achieve those ends. While sometimes God racketeers are guilty of the relatively minor sin of bad taste - witness the crucifixion-nail jewelry licensed by Mel Gibson - sometimes we get the demagoguery of Father Coughlin or the big-time cons of Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker.

The religio-hucksterism surrounding the Schiavo case makes DeMille's Hollywood crusades look like amateur night. This circus is the latest and most egregious in a series of cultural shocks that have followed Election Day 2004, when a fateful exit poll question on "moral values" ignited a take-no-prisoners political grab by moral zealots.
…
Senator Bill Frist, the Harvard-educated heart surgeon with presidential aspirations, announced that watching videos of Ms. Schiavo had persuaded him that her doctors in Florida were mistaken about her vegetative state - a remarkable diagnosis given that he had not only failed to examine the patient ostensibly under his care but has no expertise in the medical specialty, neurology, relevant to her case. No less audacious was Tom DeLay, last seen on "60 Minutes" a few weeks ago deflecting Lesley Stahl's questions about his proximity to allegedly criminal fund-raising by saying he would talk only about children stranded by the tsunami. Those kids were quickly forgotten as he hitched his own political rehabilitation to a brain-damaged patient's feeding tube. Adopting a prayerful tone, the former exterminator from Sugar Land, Tex., took it upon himself to instruct "millions of people praying around the world this Palm Sunday weekend" to "not be afraid."

The president was not about to be outpreached by these saps. The same Mr. Bush who couldn't be bothered to interrupt his vacation during the darkening summer of 2001, not even when he received a briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.," flew from his Crawford ranch to Washington to sign Congress's Schiavo bill into law. The bill could have been flown to him in Texas, but his ceremonial arrival and departure by helicopter on the White House lawn allowed him to showboat as if he had just landed on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
…
All this is happening while polls consistently show that at most a fifth of the country subscribes to the religious views of those in the Republican base whom even George Will, speaking last Sunday on ABC's "This Week," acknowledged may be considered "extremists." In that famous Election Day exit poll, "moral values" voters amounted to only 22 percent. Similarly, an ABC News survey last weekend found that only 27 percent of Americans thought it was "appropriate" for Congress to "get involved" in the Schiavo case and only 16 percent said it would want to be kept alive in her condition. But a majority of American colonists didn't believe in witches during the Salem trials either - any more than the Taliban reflected the views of a majority of Afghans. At a certain point - and we seem to be at that point - fear takes over, allowing a mob to bully the majority over the short term. (Of course, if you believe the end is near, there is no long term.)
…
Next to what's happening now, official displays of DeMille's old Ten Commandments monuments seem an innocuous encroachment of religion into public life. It is a full-scale jihad that our government signed onto last weekend, and what's most scary about it is how little was heard from the political opposition. The Harvard Law School constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe pointed out this week that even Joe McCarthy did not go so far as this Congress and president did in conspiring to "try to undo the processes of a state court." But faced with McCarthyism in God's name, most Democratic leaders went into hiding and stayed silent. Prayers are no more likely to revive their spines than poor Terri Schiavo's brain.

I ended up with an episode of SEA HUNT a few weeks ago when I bought another tape.  I think the comic book looks better.

[George]

Inside word I've heard: Daniel Davis was an unpleasant dude who hated the show and didn't get along with anyone involved with it.

Sad, I thought he was Tony-worthy.

So, since the show has already opened, is it safe to assume that the Tony voters have already seen the show?  When do the Tony nominating committee see a show?  Opening night?  Some time after that?  Would his leaving after being in the show more than three months affect if they actually nominate him or not?  Would/could this be a case like in Company when Dean Jones left and Larry Kert was nominated?  I know it's not Ask Question Wednesday, but inquiring minds want to know!
