Dang!
NO more great tunes from classic Broadway musicals?
NO more Rodgers&Hammerstein, Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, Lerner&Lowe, Bernstein, Sondheim, Webber, Kander&Ebb, etc??
Oh, that’s right…those guys mean nothing to today’s “oh-so-hip” crowd.
There goes yet more of our cultural heritage.
You sound angry.
