:: The national company of "The Music Man," currently in Atlanta, is the target of a boycott. Actor's Equity, on behalf of union performers and musicians not employed on the play's tour, has a list of grievances against the cost-cutting production.

Reports claim no Broadway cast members appear and the orchestra isn't as robust as in New York. Things are so tight, even little Winthrop had to lay off some lisps.

:: Special boycott lyrics for the hit tune, "'Til There Was You":

There was scab Harold Hill,
But I never heard him singing.
No, I never heard him at all,
'Til there were dues.


:: Current mood: Troubled
:: Current music: with a capital "T" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for "Poo."
