...book includes images of the white loose-leaf pages on which he jotted down the similes and metaphors from which his lyrics originate. But his range of talents doesn't include organization. Instead of revealing the inner turmoil of a twisted genius, these scratchings just seem like a jumble of non-sequiturs, like a word-association game played among asylum residents. (A characteristic sequence of "thoughts": Without Me, Mom, Let us Live, Violence, I Am, Kim, Hell Freezes, Kill You.) In part, he says, this haphazardness is by design. "Reading my lyric sheets even gets confusing for me sometimes...
...been drunk from the first-night excitement. But most of them merely seemed hung-over.Daniel Snyder, in the leading role of Max, sang with far more urgency than he acted. His movement and expression were often as wooden as the butt of his hunting rifle, which, for a character whose inner psychological turmoil is at the center of the opera, was not welcome.

If you have some spare time, the National Aquarium with 16,500 animals, including a tank full of stingrays...
Unfortunately, by law every county has only one early-voting site, and Hamilton County's location is in the middle of the inner city, so even though it's a conservative county, 84% of the people I surveyed voted for Barack Obama. The vast majority of early voters submit their ballots by mail, and Hamilton County's envelopes are probably just as strongly pro-John McCain. But I was interested less in which candidate Hamilton County will vote for than in finding out what kind of person votes a month before the election. To my shock, none of them told...
