My god. You’ll be ending up in N.Y. in a few years, I’m pretty sure. Broadway will suck you up & wrap you in ribbons [ooh — sounds tickly, doesn’t it], but not yet. I love this thing (some of it reminds me of Queen – howZAT make you feel?!? — I love Queen, BTW! P.S. Kurt Weill & Berthold Brecht also come to mind. Are you channeling??? I know you’re not old enough to understand the things you write! I didn’t mean it exactly that way — I meant it more along the lines of ‘I don’t comprehend how you have the perspective you do at your age.’ Not everyone would be able to learn from the sad experiences you’ve had & be able to look at things with so much love and hope — even if they were 20 or 30 years older. I’m just being appreciative & sort of full of wonder. You certainly got the “how can you experience joy without pain?” lesson early, and you actually learned it. I’m sorry, but it’s (quite unfortunately, for the culture, I’d say) amazing. And to then write about it cogently. My my. When are you leaving for New York? I’m telling you — part of your future is waiting for you on Broadway. And maybe not all in musicals, either. Ah well — all in time all in time !…
