Always a treat to see in person....Even if not by a "name" troupe....Most metro areas have large enough facilities & talent to offer several full stage/orchestral productions....

 

Sadly, I never did.  It's never too late and thanks for the reminder.  Perhaps not this year as the event had been scheduled in Nov. but I will have to put it on my calendar for next year.  Perhaps it's fortunate to be in Thailand as the Russian ballet performs here.  I will most definitely bring my daughter.

I could never understand why and how people can claim to know something when they don't know at all, and in many cases can't know.  Opinion becomes fact all too often these days.  It's usually in the negative, too.  Are some people truly that miserable?

Not only do too many people all too often spout opinion as fact but most of the time they're not even honest about it.  No likes in the last 3 pages?  Not at all true.

One of my most beloved contemporary Christmas songs is Emerson, Lake & Palmer's I Believe In Father Christmas,

Great tune from my early teens.

 

Keith Emerson was a madman.

I know that the Beach boys did a bunch of Christmas tunes.

 

Did you know that Glen Campbell was a Beach Boy?

[TheScience]

Pirate Bay has just tens of gigabytes of Christmas music old and new. FYI

 

Interesting to also know that amongst the Indie rock/pop in the last decade or two there's been a big surge in recording Christmas songs. Some really great artists as well.

Shift the goal posts to maintain the facade that you're right while ignoring parts you don't want to answer because there's no defense.  Is the role of Debbie Downer truly gleeful for you?  Man, it ain't that difficult to enjoy Christmas.

Tragic.

 

Maybe with his illness someone pinned him down and made him listen to Journey and Boston to the point of insanity. Poor guy.

 

Thanks for the leg work on that.

That's simply too cruel to ponder.  Like Beetlejuice zapping a polyester, junior executive blue suit onto Otho.
