The very distinctly enunciated double T's Paul McCartney does in "Getting Better" is very endearing to me. I've been on an über-Beatles kick lately. I think because the Beatles are very spring-type music for me.
Amy and Maddy will be visiting Jersey in two weeks, so I ordered
this book for Maddy as a gift. Shakespeare geek that I am, I actually have my own copy of it, but, seeing as nothing would make me happier than to have my favorite little cousin become just as much a Shakespeare geek as I am, I'm trying to indoctrinate her early. ;)
By the by, did anyone catch The Colbert Report last night? His "The W0RD" last night was "Bard", because there is a judge in Massachusettes who is ordering some kids who get in trouble with the law to act in Shakespeare productions. The bit was hysterical, as Colbert went through how Shakespeare is all deviant to our culture. He also did To Be or Not To Be with a ruff on!
