Lyrics

I went to see The Passenger at ENO the other night and left feeling flayed. It's a good new opera, but horribly depressing. ENO seems to be on a Nazis Everywhere kick at the moment.

In other news, I was on a bus today with a posse of schoolgirls who were (predictably) playing music out loud on their tinny phone speakers. In these cases, I fight down my own swiftly-redlining annoyance by watching everyone else's blood pressure skyrocket. Oh, and it was rush hour. Joyful.
