and I think I'm going to plotz.
'Julie Andrews Day' Declared In Chicago
Mary Poppins stopped by Chicago's City Hall today. Julie Andrews is in town with the national tour of the musical comedy “The Boy Friend.” The show opens tonight at the Chicago Theatre...Andrews says she loves Chicago and hopes to return many times in the future. She also gave the mayor copies for his grandchildren of several children's books she's written.
Bleh! I don't know how much of a minority I am in on this, but I've never been able to watch more than about 15 minutes of The Sound of Music or Mary Poppins. So treacly. In fact, I've only really seen clips in various film school classes. I'm tolerant of good musicals (Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, Spinal Tap, Busby Berkeley films likeGold Diggers of 1933, etc), so it isn't that I hate the genre - just that I can't stand Julie Andrews.
Does this make me a bad person?
I do love the various versions of
by John Coltrane, especially after he did LSD in 1964-65......
