Thoughts on misplaced glory..
 
It seems hard to believe that just 10 years ago we were living in a world without MAMMA MIA, the musical , the marketing phenomena... It's not quite deserved success is of the type that starts to make you want root against it.  It simply will not go away! It's  success is in marked contrast, to Andersson-Ulvaeus' other musicals-Kristina and Chess, which unlike Mamma Mia are under appreciated.  Chess has the perhaps the best score of any musical of the 1980's.
And one could make the same claim for Kristina in the 1990's, but Chess flopped on
Broadway, and Kristina was greeted with disdain by the Broadway money men when it was introduced to them... It's possible that one day -one of the two will make it on Broadway , but perhaps it doesn't matter, since any future incarnation of these musicals will perhaps never be as good as the original versions.

Hmm-its' just a small space in time...
 
AMAZING!
 
DID YOU know that February 2009 is the first month since February 1998 to only occupy only four calender weeks on a calender page.  Amazing isn't it ? This is because the month starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday. This only happens every 11 years or so...
 
Another interesting trival thing...Shatner is 79!
 
I always found it interesting that certain cast members of the original Star Trek, were of the same age, James Doohan and Deforest Kelley were born in 1920, William Shatner,  Leonard Nimoy, and Grace Lee Whitney were all born  in 1930.  The other lady cast members Nicelle Nichols, Majel Barrett  were born in 1932.
 
Walter Koenig, and George Takei were born around 1937. 
 

Ponder the unponderable and then eat a pickle.
 
DID YOU KNOW THAT the Teletubbies TV show was filmed on a farm in Stratford-on-Avon in England, and that the show is no longer being made, and thus teletubby land no longer exists.  Very sad...la, la. po...
 

More just amazing commentary from Felpin's Pond

I believe in the power of TAB!
 

It's Ok to dream, even if your a member of a children's choir..!!!
