hit it, boys!
When la Cieca’s dear friend and chief flunky around parterre.com JJ shlepped out this morning to fetch a copy of the New York Post, he seemed oddly keyed up. “With what I got in me, I could have been better than any of you,” JJ muttered.
Flinging the tabloid down on the breakfast bar, he continued, “What I’ve been holding down inside of me… oh, if I ever let it out, there wouldn’t be signs big enough! There wouldn’t be lights bright enough! Here he is, boys! Here he is, world! Here’s James!”
Kudos to JJ, and congratulations.
The curious thing about this misguided production is that the Met has hired erstwhile staff stage director Leslie Koenig, given that Gelb, by his own admission, is not strictly-speaking an “opera guy,” to help him and the senior artistic staff “vet,” shape, and edit new production concepts as they’re being pitched. Did all of them share a bong together before sitting through MZ’s presentation for her “Sonnambula” concept?
JJ:
Well deserved.
Toi, toi, toi!
87, your writings here have never read to me like those of an infant.
And you seem to miss the possibility that one can be the same age as S.K. (or even younger) and still have heard him during those years. The fact that he was performing one of sixteen boys in one of the world’s most exposed choirs and making recordings as a small boy (not to mention sight-reading absolutely anything) must have been better preparation for his career than most have these days.
Jorden RULES!!(I am not sure exactly WHAT he rules..but I think he must rule something.).
How dull life would be without this dude…I am prejudiced of course…but I think we all recognize this guy/goy/gay as a special personage in our lives…..Personally, if one of my friends ever got hit by a truck, James would be the one to inherit all my Rings….(I mean the Wagner ones,of course)
Do you think we could get up a petition for James to star on the VIEW!!!! WHOOOOPIE!!!!!
