Elton John finished up his over 2 hour set at the Glastonbury Festival tonight, his final performance in the UK.

Reading fantastic reviews.
Hope to see some of it uploaded to their YouTube channel.

Jane, this is a very long article, but reveals so much about Trump’s appeal, and Hitler’s, to some extent.

Thank you. That was very interesting. It included a few tactics I was not aware of. I don't think though why he is considered charismatic

These high school students, having never met before, had less than a week to put this Sondheim tribute together, along with at least 8 other musical numbers.

Aren’t they terrific? Looking forward to tomorrow night’s ceremony.

That's really cool!

That was written on 2017. I wonder if it should be updated in light of recent political developments.

Jane, I thought the article was very illuminating in terms of the psychological aspects of his success.

I don’t find him charismatic at all, but he could be very charming in his younger years.
I suppose many of his followers still find him charming.

Good news, my contractor neighbor stopped by to grab some extra door hinges. I asked him to help me get the bicycle out from under my house. We were able to do it.

Very good news, Rodzinski!

Nice pic.

Agreed!

George, the article was written during his campaign and updated in 2017 as an attempt to explain his unlikely victory and incomprehensible appeal.

Of course, we now know how that turned out. ☹️

DR George I'm so glad that you were able to go to the memorial. It must have been such an emotional service.

Thanks, Jennifer. It was.

Is that John LaTouche?

No, Leonard Bernstein wrote the lyrics for "I am easily assimilated."

elmore3003 · « **Reply #222 on:** June 25, 2023, 05:01:55 PM »

Lillian Hellman wrote the lyrics for "Eldorado."

elmore3003 · « **Reply #223 on:** June 25, 2023, 05:04:05 PM »

Dorothy Parker wrote "The Venice Gavotte." A lot of her material was for the cut Eldorado-Holy Child genocide sequence.

I, too, fell in love with "A Room With a View" when I first saw it.

I guess he was charming in his younger years, before he became a public figure-lol

Yes, the psychological aspects of his success was illuminating.

I have a very unpopular opinion about the 2016 election.....so I will just keep it to myself and we'll all move on.

It is a nice warm night here now.....83 degrees.....

Studying my lines....working on the troublesome section - that gave me trouble on Thursday night....but it's only a couple of pages....so hopefully I can conquer those tonight.

Why do people settle for semifreddo when they can have real freddo?

bk · « **Reply #235 on:** June 25, 2023, 06:32:57 PM »

Saw the matinee - Morning's at Seven - I like the play very much - and then I stopped at Gelson's and got two hamburger patties, lettuce, tomato - came home and made two burgers on my sesame burger buns - very good.

I haven't had a real burger in ages.

Of course now I am very curious about that opinion
