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).
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

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…

This discussions reminds me to ask, Dana, where's your tag from?
Dana - Jun 01, 2005 6:36:48 am PDT #1008 of 10458
I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ben Vereen is on-topic in this thread b/c of Sweet's amazing similarity to Ben Vereen in OMWF.

Dana, I was sure that you were rolling with laughter back in Season 4 when they gave Rubenstein that "my corner of the sky" line.
