Jesus Christ Superstar is probably my favorite A.L.W. production. While I like Lea Salonga’s version, Yvonne Elleman’s is still the best.

I’ve loved this song since I learned it at a camp I worked at in the late 80’s. Joni Mitchell’s version is slower, but we always sang it like this, so I like it better.

You Are Olive Green |
 You are the most real of all the green shades. You’re always true to yourself. For you, authenticity and honesty are very important… both in others and yourself. You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you. People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know. |
This worked out well - Olive Green is my favorite clothing color.

You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

I just finished reading Sin in the Second City with the subtitle “madams, ministers, playboys and the battle for America’s soul”. It’s a nonfiction book which recounts the history of Chicago’s Everleigh Club and along the way readers are titillated with gossip and fascinating snippets of information. For example, the Everleigh Club was so famous that the phrase “I’m going to get Everleigh’d” eventually changed into “I’m going to get leigh’d” and then, of course, “laid”.
The history of the club and its two famous sister/madams makes good reading, but what interested me the most is how the sisters saw brothel-keeping as a real business. They staged their public rooms with an eye to opulence and indulgence. Girls were all adults and vetted very carefully by the sisters. Drugs, weapons and scamming clients was not allowed. Prostitutes were taught to read poetry and hold high-class conversation. They dressed in clothes that a high society belle would not scorn. A real doctor came regularly to check them. The Everleigh Club was so desireable for prostitutes that a waiting list of potential employees was always long.
The club paid “taxes” to various police officials, city government workers and underworld bosses for protection and became famous all over the US and in Europe.
It’s a quick read and engrossing - Border’s had it on the “buy one get one half off” table.
