I figured someone here might care. At least that he had one of the coolest names in history.

It's a shame, but he was 96 for god's sake. I was first introduced to his work through the musical based on his book "Working" with the waitress who sang "Just a waitress? Don't you deserve to be waited on by someone as good as me?" or something to that effect.
Sorry to hear it.

I'm quite sorry, too...Wrote a great book around 1980: American Dreams Lost and Found...Appeared in the movie "Eight Men Out"...

Except for a scat porn star named Turds Stuckel.

Taint, do actually like musicals, and if so, if you don't mind me asking, why?
I value the works of Weill and Brecht very highly, but then there's the standard Broadway gyuck that makes me want to puke out my ass (parts of West Side Story excepted: Gotta rocket in your pocket? Play cooly-cool boy.) Perhaps there's a repertoire of really interesting musicals I'll never know about because I've rejected the form out-of-hand. By the way, props to me for not going the obvious route and asking if one has to be gay to enjoy musicals, although I rather expect the answer is yes - gay or vaginified.

Not true, I was in theater in HighSchool and am still a practicing hetero-horndog.
Having said that, I don't like every musical that comes down the pike. I do think Andrew Lloyd Weber has done a pretty good job over the years.

Clearly, you've never experienced the magic that is Cats.

"You ask what the score of the game was and they wouldn't know who's playing.”
“Chicago is not the most corrupt American city. It's the most theatrically corrupt.”
"You happen to be talking to an agnostic. You know what an agnostic is? A cowardly atheist. "
Never flashy and always straight forward. While I am sad to hear of his passing, it is rare to see a 96 year-old newspaper man.

Can't say I'm a big musical aficionado, either, although I enjoy Brecht, as well. I was 18 or 19 when I saw "Working". I'm 42 now. You do the math.
