Jermaine Jackson said that Sondheim was friends with Langston Hughes. Much like Charles Strouse, Steve was involved with civil rights and black culture.

Here's the blunt truth: Travis could marry one of her clones (lookalikes). Who would know? If they marry at some giant stadium, all the fans are hundreds of metres away. All the celebrants would be in on the scam. In the modern day, forging a signature is incredibly easy. Taylor made a mistake by allowing lookalikes. It enables this type of bullshit. Michael Jackson wasn't imitable in the same way, and avoided any shotgun weddings. - I'd also add that we've still got a l

No. Both at Burnside and at NZSM, the real singers listened and said that I wasn't. You can't hear like I can. The main difference is that I'm a jazz singer. I bend notes, I use glissando. I use my voice as an instrument, not just a valved one. Think Michael Jackson or Paul McCartney... Ears are often prejudiced, including mine. You hear what you want to hear. I'd travelled farther and wider than almost all of you: I've heard more. Michael was the same. He'd been everywhe

Jermaine's hoping I'll write Michael, part 2 with him. Anyway, a default judgment is when somebody doesn't turn up to a hearing. Regarding his sexual assault case, that means he didn't want to deal with it. He'd rather lose $7 million USD than listen to someone say he raped them. That's the kind of wealth that the Jackson clan has. Anyway, he says that Michael only said how to masturbate, but didn't touch kids. Much like me, Michael was a bit allergic to touch.

That's what my brother and I really were.

First up, I'm fixing Lapine's dialogue to be practical. In Colour and Light, it's not Dot saying 'the follies, george!' It's 'the follies, George. We're going!' Dot should speak vernacular English of the old theatre world when practical. - Move On: 'Let others make that decision: they typically do.' 'Anything you do; let it come from you; give me more to see.'

Sir Paul and Ringo actually saved the day. The cops came in after. Yes, two eightysomething blokes killed three men in supposedly better shape. 'The Beatles' is the cover for something much more like that Nowhere Men comic. Honestly, though, the music came first and always. Everything else was politics. Bay of Pigs was a moment where George and Michael (Ringo) saved the day. Michael moves objects with his mind -- Rising Stars telekinesis. - For Himesh: George was Jesus,

Here's my take: yes, Michael was kinky. That's a given. He was also a queen like Sir Paul. What we're all tip-toeing around is ageplay. Many of these 'kids' might have been 20. He probably came in the corner in those situations, but never with the real kids. That's what the forensic evidence apparently says: zero DNA, room wasn't cleaned. - My view is that he taught some of the teenagers, like Wade, about sexuality. This may have involved discussions of masturbating. If

By piloting AMPP's infrastructure bonds in Wellington. All the people who own those empty buildings in Central Wellington should have to pay either a land use levy or city bonds that are earmarked for core infrastructure. Peter and Fran would probably pay, which means that Ian Cassels has to as well.

No, under no circumstances. Gemma can't conduct well enough. Her Rite of Spring was like being a train conductor: she beat time, not pulse. You can't tell much when they do an old favourite. Hamish was tons better on Petrushka. Complicated ensemble work isn't the same as Māori rhythm. I told you my plan to premiere it. Session players for my movie. Many might be NZSO, but Claudia was up to it for Portrait of a Knight as a student. Portrait of a Knight is a much harder scor

Snarking at the corporate masters that own Reuters. They wouldn't hire me because I smoke cannabis and take psychedelics... Reuters spent a whole year evaluating me to be a Global News Desk Editor. As I said: if the FBI would hire me, why not you? - Anyway, I don't need to calm down. I need real answers and apologies. Disney might be wealthy, but it's evil and behaving anti-competitively. My McCartney saga has gone on for over six months. I'm fairly sure it's real. I've

No. I've actually made a list of players for a session. It was meant to be Paul's re-recording sessions for Ripples in a Pond. Peter, Fran, Don, Harry and Fiona all want to make a film. The SIS need to eat it. Nadine fucked it up for y'all. Kubrick got it too close with Dr. Strangelove, but he got to make it.

Turns out he really is a tīpuna rather than a tūpuna. A thought: where's all the clips of his guitar playing? I've seen a few, and he was amazing. Flamenco, country, jazz, blues... he had it all.

I had one last night. It was quite intense: it's not quite a lucid dream, as I wasn't able to make decisions, so I see it more like a guided tour. Oddly enough, I was lucid enough to drink a real beer that was sitting at my bedside, but it went on for several hours. There were two phases to it: in the first phase, I was on a trip with a bunch of VIP people, mostly political. There was some type of conference going on. One takeaway was that brass bands are big in Tonga, but

No. All the best musicians in the world drink and do drugs (or take beta blockers). It's actually part of passing the test with Sir Paul. He's been dosing his coworkers since the late 1960's. He doses me with benzedrine and microdoses of LSD. Fairly sure he did so with psilocybin and mescaline as well. I'd make the same amount of money with far fewer rules as a private teacher. I'm giving Taylor Swift some free lessons at the moment; I can choose to do that as a vocal coac

It doesn't work like that, Mr. Barr. I've never met you. There's no clear documentation that suggests a collaboration. Paul McCartney answered the questions of sceptical reporters. Taylor Swift did as well. We're really working together. You stole my script and rewrote it illegally. I didn't give permission to produce, and you haven't been able to. The project has sat in limbo for over three years while I made 40 hours of content that covered all the same bases in a fresh

No. AMPP would be censored, whether subtly or overtly. As for the 'come back to Parliament' angle. No. Mr. Luxon can't tolerate me, so I'm not coming. Given I haven't been arrested, odds are on that we'll be making a series of Beatles films in 2027 and releasing them in 2028-2030. I'll be paid and too busy to protest, so I'm going to make the most of this last big push. It's the capper to eight years of activism.

No. I'm not interested in acting. If you're serious, you'll find that I have no representation. That means that people need to do what Sir Paul has done: approach me. You can't fudge it. You can't send emissaries. You're negotiating with me, not William Morris. I'm a writer-director who happens to have a beautiful voice. Same goes for Taylor Swift, except she genuinely enjoys acting. - As I said, all gigs this year are AMPP gigs. There's no other reason to do one. Thoug
