  1. Like Ethel Merman in "Gypsy." Seriously, I liked Darren Criss in Hedwig. Much better ? than I expected.
  2. This guy just started a job and moved to a new city. Why would he start looking for a new job so soon? I wasn't out when I was drafted in 1967. But I didn't care if someone asked if I was gay. My dad died when I was 16. He served in World War Two. Now I am glad I did not attempt to get out of the Army. I learned a lot about bullies and I also have many VA benefits.
  3. He was fined$9,000.
  4. When I was discharged from the Army in June, 1969 after flying from Saigon to Oakland, California, that is what people said to me. I turned down the first job because it was with the Managing Director of Philadelphia. I have passesd a civil service exam so I guessed I would be offered another job I did agree on the second job because it had no politcal feel. I worked in a super market in Natick, Massachusetts for three months before I had the second job offer.
  5. And he stupidly thanked the crowd for the "motivation.". The night crowds at the US Open are without mercy.
  6. We do not disagree about staying in the closet, rather your suggestion he find another job. He just started this job, and moved to a new city for the job. @Unicorn, mentioning a Fortune 500 company goes with your showing photos of houses you might buy.
  7. @Unicorn, I takes a lot of bull crap to tell someone else to find another job. You know absolutely nothing about his financial situation, or how difficult it may have been to land this new job.
  8. Every time I mention something from the 1960s, you disagree. If I recall correctly, you weren't old enough to see either the "Annie Get Your Gun" revival, or the awful television version.
  9. Gypsy opened on Broadway with Ethel Merman in 1959 when she was 51 years old. I wasn't writing about the film. By 1960, Ethel looked her age (I saw "Gypsy" on Broadway from a front row seat). Too old to have such young kids. She should have won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. The revival of "Annie Get Your Gun"was a mistake. In the television version, broadcast on tape in early 1967 (and never again), Ethel looked old enough to be Frank Butler's aunt. I
  10. Ethel Merman was 51 years old when "Gypsy" opened in New York. Merman played other cities after "Gypsy" closed on Broadway. I saw her in the musical in Boston in 1961 at the Colonial Theater. She never played Rose in revivals, or London. Her parents were elderly and in poor health, so Ethel had to pass on London.
  11. I am surprised too, because he's someone I barely remember.
  12. He did a number of years ago.
  13. Are you writing about friends? I respect you. And I wouldn't have disagreed if I had the same experience as you.
  14. I have audited about twelve liberal arts course at Penn. And I talk to the student. Absolutely not true concerning students who transfer to Penn in their third year of college. There is no way for you to know unless you ask directly. You usually are not in favor of sweeping statements like your original post. How many Ives? Not sure: perhaps eight. students study education, nursing, engineering, arts& science and business
  15. "....real world situations elude them entirety." A bit of exaggeration, Benjamin.
  16. JK doesn't sing often here. That is why I posted about his appearances with the Boston Symphony.
  17. Thanks, I am seeing the men's semi-finals at the US Open in early September. I recognize several of the players, especially Andy Roddick.
  18. Brown and Cornell are also Ivy League universities. He isn't necessarily a liberal arts student.
  19. There are nicer beaches not far away, but otherwise Provincetown is perfect.
  20. I agree with @keroscenefire. Occasionally, working guys never talk much about education or background even after six to twelve months of hiring. Nice change.
