It's not that opera stories were "bad," generally, though some
certainly
were. It's just that the story really isn't that significant a part of
the work in most of them. In most opera, the libretto is just a theme,
a
beginning. It's the music, the singing, the show that is important.
Even
in Mozart's time, the libretto for Don Giovanni was...bizarre. But the
work is one of the greatest ever written.

Consider the libretto for one of the greatest American musicals,
Oklahoma! Corny as Kansas, set in Oklahoma. Silliness. But...the music,
the singing, the dancing, the visuals are incomparable.

"Oklahoma" isn't an opera.

Opera, Ohpra, ballet, Bailey's; Its all the same to Harry. What's
important
is he's refined and cultured and knows good taste and what tastes good. He
is also a greenie. He knows exactly what size boat you should own and how
much of a carbon footprint you should leave. Yours is way to big by the
way.
If it weren't for Harry we wouldn't know how to vote. He makes it easy
though. Don't look at names, just vote the big donkey. And does he know
trucks. They are all special purpose. For instance; For crushing legs you
want a Ford150 and for towing Parker boats down the interstate at 45MPH,
Toyota rules.

Trust me on this - you don't know the half of it.

It's been an interesting couple of days.

You can probably tell I haven't had my morning coffee yet.

Try a Dunkin' Donuts Turbo Iced Coffee with double shot of expresso.

WHOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Why is the room spinning around?

Jeff Dunham should read some of Harry's crap. It would provide some good
material for his Walter character. Of course he'd have to clean up the
language.
