Today -- and very promptly from an Amazon.com merchant -- I got an inexpensive promo copy of Hydrogen Sulfide -- whoooooooooooooops! H-subscript 2-Dollar Sign. If you covered up the top and bottom of the album art and asked a bunch of scientists, "Okay, quick! What's the first thing in your mind when you see this?" And of course they'd answer hydrogen sulfide. When the show played in '95 the idiots at America's Leading Supermarket Chain, A & P, used the H2$ symbol to sell their Eight O'Clock Coffee. I sent a letter to The Paper of Re-CORD after that fatuous oaf Vincent Cannnn-BYYYYY raved it, noting the resemblance -- but of course they never ran it as The Paper of Re-CORD is allllllways right. And the sad thing is this has a great Frank Loesser score -- if you know the '61 cast album. I've heard a snippet of this revival's star THE BOY singing, and he can sinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg, but Robert Morse taught us that there's more to acting than singing. Oh well, I'll wait to listen until I finally play that copy of Kristin Chenoweth's first album I got inexpensively used from a Free Library book sale -- and that may take a while too. Besides, I understand someone who worked for MICKEYMOUSE NIXON on His animated CLASSICS mangled the orchestrations.

Also HWWWALTER CRRRONKITE's in it, busily daydreaming of how DAN BLATHER took that job away from him.

Peculiar note: Enter "h2$" in G000,000,000,000,000GLE Images and you get this. How apt.
