...obituarists called Jerome Robbins "a perfectionist" -- and you know what that means. His dancers hated him; he once fell backward off a stage while demonstrating a number because when he got to the edge, no one said anything. But he was a hell of a song-and-dance man, the guy who got the musical back to Hollywood in the 1950s after MGM's Roaring Thirties ended, the guy who told Mary Martin...
...from the perspective of a true punk, it seems false and foolish to sing openly of love in such a sullied world. So tender emotions are hidden, which makes their hearts ache all the more. The Clash's album London Calling contained one of rock's best love songs, Train in Vain, but it was hidden away, buried as an unlisted track.

I was playing on Roy Acuff's spot, and after a song, I said, "Mr. Acuff, you don't know what's about to happen, but I'm going to introduce someone--Mr. Roy Rogers." The audience stood for a minute and a half. The chill factor was high. Everyone I've met who knew this man has spoken only words of praise. I think who he was, offscreen as well...
