(The only song from a recent Broadway musical that anyone outside mid-Manhattan knows is "Karma Chameleon," the old Boy George number woven into his score for the short-lived, lamented "Taboo.") The sad fact is that most people under 60 have put the great old songs out of their head - and, if they hear them, they don't like them. It's as if America took to heart a gag in this years Encores...
