| What happened to MTV? I seem to recall that at one point, they actually played music. As a matter of fact, they are solely responsible for the dastardly and hopeless direction that pop music has taken. As soon as MTV made it a prerequisite for musical artists to look like whores and douchebags, decent songmanship died a terrible death, its brains splattered across some producer’s coke den. | I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the “M” in MTV stands for “music.” I’m a big fan of music. I firmly believe that it makes the world go round. Even the garbage today — which makes me think that the horrible days of grunge in the ’90s were not so bad — qualifies as music. You see, if you truly love music, you have to be incredibly forgiving, open-minded and patient. | |||

| It seems that nowadays, you can’t go to a Broadway show without a big Hollywood name attached to it. It’s like: SEAN HAYES (in, ummm, what’s it called? Oh yeah, “Promises Promises,” starring some other people you may have heard of). Or CATHERINE ZETA JONES (in that musical written by that guy). Or, CHRISTINA APPLEGATE (in that Fosse-somebody revival). | Now, “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” THAT was a fantastic show! Sutton Foster (who won a Tony for her performance) is as actor-y as they get: amazing singer, great dancer and hilarious actress. I sat in the audience with a big smile the whole time in complete awe. I was even inspired to take tap dancing lessons! And I’ve been a stalker (ahem, pardon me, a fan) of hers ever since. | |||
