About Me |
|
| I was born in St. Louis on September 26, 1888 to an aristocratic unitarian family. I went to Harvard and Merton College in Oxford. Eventually, I won the Nobel Prize in literature. |
|
My Interests |
|
| Lyrical playwrighting, classical music, acting like I am a british literary snob even though I am from Missourah, denying charges of antisemetism, measuring out my life in coffee spoons, lecturing at universities, publishing literary review magazines, writing poetry that makes reference to obscure literature that was written hundreds of years ago, trying to bring back the lyrical play, converting to the Church of England. | |
I'd like to meet:Someone that gets me. |
|
Music:The Music from Cats, since they borrowed my poems from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" for the lyrics of that horrible play. I still like the lyrics even though the play was a mess. I mean what was even happening in that play? All the cats get on a space ship or something in the end. If you wanna know how to write a real play why don't you read "The Rock," "Murder at the Cathedral", "The Cocktail Party," or "Family Reunion, " "Sweeney Agonistes," "The Elder Statesman" or the "Confidential Clerk." Now those are some plays. |
|
Movies:I don't much like the movie "Tom and Viv" I wish they would have consulted Valerie for my perspective... |
|
Television:Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome. |
