Yes, that's really what the Tories are saying after AMPP's 2026 albums. They think that my words that are scary, but my music is undeniably catchy. I did apprentice with the greatest living lyricist before AMPP got going... Knew Sondheim for eight years. Worked with him for a few months. - McCartney was probably the greatest living melodist, so it was a similar experience. - As Sondheim said, lyric writing is something I fell into.

Even if I did it on paper, they could just sneak into my room. They painted themselves into a corner by stealing my work.
People in New York and Los Angeles thought they could pull a fast one. I'm just some composer living in New Zealand, so how would I know if they stole it? - Brad Buxer blew the whistle that Salina was stealing my concert music. People in New York blew the whistle that Red Scare was nicking The Perfumed Garden.

They think it's ripe for a big-budget screen version. A film of Porgy and Bess with a conductor…
