I remember one time seeing Kobe leave the Forum.

I truly think Eliot had baseball in mind when he denoted April as the cruelest month.

I have tried to leave several times but I can't.
Apparently I can check out any time I like but can never leave.
All kidding aside, I really like this place. Was on blowout forums for awhile and the level of BS and people jumping all over you for breaking the "rules". And people calling foul if you don't have your cards priced "way below EBay". This is a good place in my opinion.

Glad to see there are still people around who enjoy reading poetry. That makes me happy.

The Four Quartets would no doubt have more appeal on a Football Forum.

Nah, I'm more of a Shakespeare guy. No manuscripts, but I have something like 800 Shakespeare-related books.

So in your informed opinion did someone else write the works attributed to Shakespeare?

No, definitely not. I have a whole website devoted to refuting the idea that somebody else wrote the works of Shakespeare, and I've written about it in several places in print, most recently in "The Cambridge Guide to the Worlds of Shakespeare".

Initially, Joe D was not too happy about his name being in Simon and Garfunkel's song.

But, Joe's agent advised Joe that it would be good publicity for him. So, Joe OK'd it.

But, Joe refused to allow these lyrics to be sung in the movie (The Graduate).

And, sure enough, the lyrics are not included in the song featured in the movie.

Why would they need his permission? Ted, that doesn't sound right to me, he was a public figure and the copyright to the song would have been with its author.

And Art Garfunkel is a big Phillies fan. I was at game 2 of the 2009 WS and they were shown on the big screen sitting together. That was a cool moment.

Great references. I love the article by Ron Rosensbaum for Slate (and it mentions your website).

I guess I asked the right guy. Fascinating. Do you have a favorite play? As just a casual reader (well, a little more than that, but not a scholar) mine is probably Macbeth.

I get asked that all the time, but it's hard to pick out one play as my "favorite". Sometimes I say Henry IV part 1, because it mixes comedy and tragedy and has one of Shakespeare's greatest characters in Falstaff.
