On the plus side, I once saw an old kinescope of Renata Tebaldi, Dinah Shore
and Ella Fitzgerald singing "Three Little Maids" from "The Mikado." Not the
BEST Gilbert and Sullivan I've ever heard, but they were all having a blast!

Consider the singular wisdom learned from animated sages like Bugs Bunny.
The irrepressible, Oscar-winning rabbit and his cartoon cohorts have taught
millions of American children precisely the sort of powerful, subversive
truths from which adults try to shield them: that smart-alecks have more
fun; that mocking authority is often the right thing to do; that tortoises
beat hares (especially when tortoises cheat); that the world is often a
cruel and desperate place that would just as soon drop an anvil on your head
as give you a hand up; and, most important of all, that a sense of humor and
resilience is the only way to make it through the years to come.
