What baffles me is: why NOW? Had it happened fourteen years ago, or when the Gelbster took over the reins, it would have made more sense to me.
Whose knickers got into such a big twist after FIFTEEN years? That’s what I am curious to know, but alas, never shall.
Beautiful article for Brad in the NYT. I hope MET Futures will resurface in a different form (and soon), but from the sound of things reported this time, it does not seem likely. I hope they are going to comp him for more than one performance!
