I was at the Albert Hall in London last night (Sunday) watching the film of West Side Story with full live orchestral accompaniment. Not a great fan of musicals as a genre, but West Side Story is high art. It was wonderful.

West Side Story totally transcends the genre of the musical. it is a sort of opera really. But when real opera stars perform it they lose something of it's essence. Leonard Bernstein's Candide is also good - but cannot compare to West Side Story.

Ironically enough, the two leads in the film mime to the vocals of others. And I've always felt that Richard Beymer was miscast and, well, wet, as Tony. But the rest of the film, from the stunning and highly innovative visuals to the choreography and the singing, never misses a beat.
There was an interesting interview in The Guardian a short while ago with Russ Tamblyn who played Riff, which lifted the lid on some of the myths around the film.

I'm feeling happy, so here's a song that sums it up. Andrew Gold died far too young last year. One of the best "falling in love" songs ever.

Ahhh... Badfinger.
Before they were Badfinger they were called The Iveys. Two of the band - Peter ham and Tom Evans later killed themselves. Very sad. They had a real melodic gift.
This song was used in the film The Magic Christan

And this was written for them by Paul McCartney.

Great song from a great album
The album cover design was by Andy Warhol and the original plan was to have a pink balloon which flopped out when you pulled down the zip. Meanwhile that zip damaged any record cover you stacked it with.

Wow - the more things change the more they stay the same. This piece of drivel is from the early 1960s - Marty Wilde. Note the racist elements.

And all that matters
Is turned around
Over and over again
With that full circle
It comes down to now again
