If I have to see a lousy modern opera I would rather see
Lizza Bordon.
Either Soros has to foot the bill of some opera companies are going to lose a bunch of money.
Will Gore prepare the libretto (as if he actually every wrote a word of anything with his name on it).
Will there be extra intermissions built in for “ice tea” calls of nature?
Will any scenes be set on TN tobbacco farms or zinc mines?

“16 everyday tools are lined up on stage along with 16 workmen in aprons, and an actor in evening dress. The actor begins reading from the eighteenth-century Encyclopedia of Diderot and d’Alembert while the workmen make astonishing music with their tools and materials.”
That’s it! Algore has found his place in a musical version of THE THEATER OF THE ABSURD!

You know, I just have to laugh at this. We have an excellent opportunity here to enjoy an historic episode of mass hysteria. I hope it doesn’t do much damage.

Curious to see if Al Gore is the hero or the villain.

Elmer Fudd as Al Gore would be a good idea.

Of course it will conclude with Algore riding his ever-true polar bear off of an ice floe and into the warm and rising arctic ocean.

I'm glad I looked before I accused anybody of making that up. Mind-boggling.
Tim Curry might be available. "Let's do the Time-warp again..."

It will be a comedy. By then the cooling which began about 1999 will be evident and global warming promoters will be all be hiding out.

I once played guitar for a wedding along with a guy who played the saw. With a violin bow.
It actually was pretty, but we never played La Scala, just the Log Cabin Sunday School.

Actually a bowed saw makes a really neat sound. Just got to use the bow on the correct edge of the saw blade :-)

Run through a lot of horsehair that way . . . .
It was pretty, we played a lot of old-timey folk music since that was what we knew. The bride processed to "Wildwood Flower", not perhaps a good choice for a wedding, but nobody knew the words but us!
