I'll not be pretending. Pre-Lloyd Webber, stage musicals were mostly plays with a bunch of actual songs thrown in. Post-ALW they became middlebrow pseudo-opera, with none of the humour and tunes of eg Gilbert & Sullivan light opera, and none of the artistic merit of the hard stuff.

There's just way too much to be very cross about, today. The Australian government investing OUR MONEY in EllenMusk's stupid space project and weapons companies is next level crap. I've disagreed with governments before but I've never been this disappointed in one.

Lots of white Australians honestly believe that Australia is not a racist country. It's pretty easy to ignore what doesn't effect you, if you choose to remain ignorant. This is shameful.
