...there for more than a decade? A few years ago, I taught a composition class at a college in Iowa. Among my students were an immigrant from Guatemala, an Indian who grew up in London, a Japanese-American out of North Carolina, a Philippine-Chinese-American, and several very blond students from the American heartland, including a white supremacist who defended her family's racism in front of the class. This extraordinary mix of students strikes me as a perfect representation of America, a land where a boy raised at the back of an Indian grocery store in London easily...
...they were all totally nude from the first to the last second of the play. Well, sometimes Macbeth had a cardboard crown on his head, and occasionally Lady Macbeth wore a very long wig, but that was all. When "she" took it off, there was Lady Macbeth with short blond hair and a penis. The stage was covered in gore and what I think was supposed to be human excrement. The standing ovations at the end went on forever. I wonder what the Bard would have thought about all that. William Woodley Munich I read your reference to Shakespeare...
...voices the philistine argument: "The music in these shows isn't rock or rap or anything essential..." and "They've got you thinking about show tunes when we've got a basketball game next week." (Why, that's un-American.)

In HSM it's a basketball game, a scholarly competition and the final auditions for the show; in Take the Lead a dance contest, a deb ball and the main boy's participation...
Yellowcard “Rough Landing, Holly” Dir. Marc Webb Three years ago, Yellowcard became famous when MTV decided to rotate heavily the video for their single “Ocean Avenue.” With their infectious pop hooks, pint-size bleached-blond frontman, and kooky rock violinist (isn’t that just so original?), the song and the band became bona fide emo gods to legions of equally pint-sized girls. The band’s new video, “Rough Landing, Holly,” is kind of like...
