Re: East Side, West Side, All Around The Town
I remember seeing Phillips years ago on one of the last Tonight Shows with Johnny Carson. She was in the deep end with it and her facial expressions and motor skills were so distorted the camera couldn't keep up with her! Not to mention if the camera is supposed to put 10 lbs on you I don't want to think of what she actually looked like to the human eyeball. Let's hope Harry does more than read! And I've always thought those London rags needed page 2 BOYS, not girls.

Kersh just sent me this... its to appear in the British press (independent I think...) 'He was the most important person in British music since the birth of rock 'n' roll' By Andy Kershaw It was like I had been hit by a hammer. Jenny Abramsky, the BBC's controller of network radio, called me and said: "I've got some bad news for you, and I think you ought to sit down." As soon as she said that, my mind just raced and in a flash, before she had said it, I thought "Peel's dead". John had died...

Re: Hotels In NYC
I should think that the NOTS hotel page might be best, as everything you will want to go to will be Downtown. Anywhere south of Midtown would be a general location. There are some B&B's that are really cheap in the EV, but you will never be able to take anyone back to your room with you... so stick with the hotels-- you never know... you might get lucky! Never, never choose a hotel near an airport. Though their prices are cheaper, there is a good reason for that. They are miles away from...

As per the glamourization of murder, there is no doubt stories of murder and serial killing, etc. are very 'entertaining' but there are limits. E.g.

I can see now why I've never heard people rave about Athens the way they do about Rome, Paris, Berlin, London or New York.

I couldn't even date them with a specific era, there were just so many dingy white, beige and off-white buildings with no character whatsoever that I couldn't keep track. I've...

Hatches, about Sweeney, yes, I loved Patti as Lovett, you're totally right she was very different from Angela Lansbury, but I loved Lansbury's portrayal as well.

By the way Sondheim saw Christopher Bond's straight production (no music) in London and got involved with the show that way. Broadway will never be the same again.
