Sondheim

Critic Frank Rich interviewed Stephen Sondheim over at UCLA tonight. I got to go, courtesy of my mother. Hearing Sondheim's vignettes about his life and work filled me with fire for my own potential. I wonder if I could ever find kinship with giants.

I'm going to head out to buy a bunch of biographies of people I admire, and I'm going to read each one so that I'm never at a loss for examples.

At the end of the interview, the MC re-entered and informed the audience that it will be Stephen Sondheim's birthday in three days. Which brings me to a question: how many of you can say you sang for Stephen Sondheim?

I can, now.
