They should take this show on the road. 🙂 Sing along with me now: “Overture/Curtain, lights/This is it/The night of nights. No more rehearsing or nursing a part/We know every part by heart. Overture/Curtain, lights/This is it/We’ll hit the heights/And oh, what heights we’ll hit/On with the show, this is it!” LOL! 🙂

(Meanwhile, let’s peer past punditry for a minute. The first post-Katrina episodes of “This American Life” need to be heard (from) again. [On the main page, click on the “05” icon in the “Complete Archives” section. When you’re on the “Archives” page, scroll down to Show Nos. 296 and 297, clicking on the small megaphones next to the titles on the left-hand side.] Afterwards, move your mind ahead 365 days or so, because “News And Notes” has taken out the nice china. Farai Chideya‘s from-the-ground New Orleans stories from yesterday and today are required listening. [Is it just me, or is Farai is on her way to becoming a renaissance woman? :)] Anyway, her Katrina stories are airing this week on “N and N.”)
