jeezifonly Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I read the news on Twitter - so sad. He was the vanguard for American Opera possibility in the 21st C. Not just for (us?) queens, but all sorts of fans and musicians - people who reject the dinosaur mode applied to the ancient art form. Wicked, passionate, knowledgeable, irreverent, gossipy, hilarious, opinionated and a fantastically readable writer. Miss him already.
