Start Over

Jane Austen, Emma

"There is nothing tangential in the selection of such a photograph for such an album. For Bushkin, jet flight synthesizes the meaning of the music of Cole Porter, a selection of whose songs he was, at the time, getting ready to record. That meaning is Porter's remarkable, continuing contemporaneity; his immediacy, as urgent today as decades ago; his melodic and lyrics insights, as acute and free of anachronism as they were before rocketry became a commonplace, psychoanalysis a parlor game and sophistication the property of the majority." #ColePorter #JoeBushkin #IGetAKickOutOfPorter

If we were singing Hammerstein songs, we could fix all the wrongs in rhyme. But this is life, with a heartache it brings and we know that these things take time.

'"We all have to put on to make it through the day," Fosse said a year before his death. "One time I was going to do a film, a semidocumentary, about how everyone has to put on a show, how everybody wakes up and says, 'It's showtime!'"' #Fosse #SamWasson #PerformanceOfTheSelf
