Oh, What a Beautiful Evening!!!
I was lucky enough to see "Oscar Hammerstein II: The Song is You" last night at Carnegie Hall. A friend of mine is one of 'The Clurman Singers' that delightfully backed up Sutton Foster, Rosena Hill and Aaron Lazar singing Hammerstein's greatest, with wonderful anecdotes about his life told by David Charles Abell, Conductor of the NY Pops (who sounded incredible)!!!!!
If you ever have the chance to see The Pops (with or without the adorable Abell), I highly recommend it; they are glorious. =)

Why does she keep dodging this?
Chelsea Clinton keeps dodging questions about her dad’s infidelity, claiming it is “none of [our] business.” I do not believe this is the case, and I’m sure I’m not alone. Slick Willy cheated, not only while he was president, but while he was actually, physically, IN the oval office!!! Instead of acting so shocked at questions regarding the Lewinsky scandal, Chelsea should acknowledge that what he did was wrong and that he and Hil Dog have moved passed it and are happy now, or something like that. (Even if no one believes it!) All this dodging is not doing her or her mother any good. But hopefully, it will help Obama!
On a more personal note, I know it must be humiliating to have the whole world know your father did something so disrespectful and tasteless, but denying it and backing away from the issue makes her seem more ashamed. She should own up to it, be proud of the fact that she and her mother haven’t done anything so tacky, and get over it (and encourage the rest of the world to do so too). I myself cannot get over it; I think Hil should have left him, but some voters might disagree.
