I'd assume it was about surviving as a black person in a white world....
although, i don't remember the rest of the song and haven't seen the show...
one damn day as long as they don't decide to cancel because Ramona broke a fingernail or Eden lost one pound...

Quite right, tiny toon, I'd forgotten that line - I'll confess I watched the show much more closely than I listened to it. You say there's several reasons why Paradice has to be black, and I'll take your word for it. I'm just trying to come up with a good reason why they didn't have proper coverage for Romona last night.
Parenthetically, on The Producers, Robert Fowler ( a fine,and incidentally black, actor) has two minor roles with lines that are cut anytime he's out of the show.

Posted: 2/20/05 at 10:34pmBSO - OBVIOUSLY that's what they mean by that line, I said that pages and pages ago. It just doesn't make sense in the show.

lol, oh...
i didn't see the show yet...so I figured she was trying to make a name for herself as a black woman, HENCE their singing competition...or something along those lines...
Was that asking too much?
Or is that story to complex?
#105re: about BKLYN's saturday eve show.
Posted: 2/20/05 at 10:38pmThe story is not complex at all - there hardly is a story - but trying to make sense of it is completely mind boggling.

"i didn't see the show yet...so I figured she was trying to make a name for herself as a black woman, HENCE their singing competition...or something along those lines..."
From what I gathered, Paradice already made it in show business and is jealous of all the attention this new comer "Brooklyn" is getting. So she challenges her to a singing competition to prove that she (Paradice) is better. Is that correct?
Anyhow just from reading these posts I see alot of people saying how they dislike the show. Yet I also see others attacking THESE people because they are honest about their opinions, rather than just keeping honest to their own opinions and saying why they DO like it. I have not seen (and feel free to correct me) any Brooklyn "haters" attack any other posters who like it unless something was said about them first.
Also, Priest may I express my undying love for you?

TGIF, there's honest discussion and there's personal attacks. Munk's "You irritate me beyond belief" & hyperbolic "I wonder if a human being is capable of spawning such abominable crap" & my favorite, from tiff "You're an aSshole", simply don't belong in any reasonable discourse. I wasn't able to find anything quite so negative or vitriolic from the naive Brooklyners' side.

In defense this was said prior to the above mentioned statements
"Wow, bklyn really is amazing...I just hate those who diss it." by emo_geek.
EDIT-- also, in another thread where I said something about how Eden might be using the proper technique (hence no lost voice) but to me when she hits some of the notes they are still unpleasant, emo_geek said my opinion didn't matter.

I won't even try to defend munk, but in Tiff's defense, her calling me an "aSshole" was 100% sarcastic and meant in good fun. 
EDIT: And, thank you TGIF. Undying love, huh? What'd I do to deserve that.

Nothing in particular.
But I won't try to defend you.

Posted: 2/20/05 at 11:23pmmunk, I can't imagine. Thanks for the clarification,priest. Sorry, tiff.
#116re: about BKLYN's saturday eve show.
Posted: 2/20/05 at 11:24pmIt's not like I'm trying to change people's opinions, of that I don't have respect for them - they have the same right to love something (terrible) that I have to hate it. My posts were always meant with good intentions, and if they sounded overly nasty, had you heard me say it in person you would have been laughing - it's just how I am. Always 100% honest, no matter what.

If I paid Broadway price for a ticket and walked into a theatre to see a person with a script in their hand, either I'd have a full refund IMMEDIATELY or someone would be paying for it with a pound of flesh.
This is the most assinine and ridiculous thing I've heard of regarding professional theatre in NYC, and anyone who is defending its existence has their head so far up their ass that they don't know night from day - much less what real theatre is or is not.
Inexcusable, pathetic and grotesque - this abomination should be forced out, even if they are somehow making money off of fools who buy into this ignorance. Shameful.

Thank you, DGrant.
I knew if I came out and just said that, I'd be labeled a "hater: or whatever.
But, since you're so well-respected, I'm glad you said what I was thinking.
