That makes sense, I just can't get past the-song-in-context, as the show hangs together so precariously, anyway.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Heh. We had an intense discussion Sunday night about Assassins and Tommy. I've not been able to sit through either of them, and Zach adores them. I like the Who's recording of Tommy, but the stage recording has the precise, bright qualities that make me dislike musicals in general (even Wicked).

This discussions reminds me to ask, Dana, where's your tag from?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Hee. Sondheim, unsurprisingly. It's a cut song from "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" called "There's Something About A War."

Heh, I figured it was Sondheim. (For posterity: "The rain may rust your armor, your straps may be too tight, but decapitate a farmer and your heart feels light.")
...And now I'm earwormed with "War Is A Science" (from Pippin, which is not Sondheim, but still one of my favorite shows).

Pippin is always on topic in the Angel thread, since the only time I saw this was the video starring John Rubenstein! When I saw him on Angel playing Holland Manners' replacement (what was his name?), it freaked me out to see how he had aged from that honkey-afro-wearing guy.

Oh, my goodness. I'm going to have to break out my DVDs.
Also, I feel like Ben Vereen should never be off-topic.

I was listening to my Simon and Garfunkel boxed set last night, and their cover of "Bye Bye Love" came on. I was immediately reminded of the version of that song in All That Jazz, sung by Vereen ("Folks, let me lay on you a so-so entertainer, not much of a humanitarian, and this cat was never nobody's friend.") and Roy Scheider.
Love that movie.

What is even happening?
Also, I feel like Ben Vereen should never be off-topic.How could he be? Really.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Ben Vereen is on-topic in this thread b/c of Sweet's amazing similarity to Ben Vereen in OMWF.
