I am not going to go without my comment here, that my entire lifetime of life experience and training, little as it is in comparison with professionals, is untrue. Broadway is as appealing as it is to those who seek it out because it is the Broadway Community, not the perhaps revolutionistically aspired, Broadway Conglomerate. You can't take over a culture simply by declaring it non-existent. | |
