But remember that the play takes place on Catfish Row, amongst gamblers and drug addicts who spend their time in and out of prison; Porgy himself murders Crown in anger later on. Bess herself is making her living … [View More]

> How many jazz singers sing about "my woman" though? > Off the top of my heaad, it's right there in the title of "Bess, You Is My Woman Now". Haven't heard it in context to know precisely how Porgy means it. But he loved her, right? I also have a line going through my head about "You will be my woman; I will be your man", but I can't remember the title of the song or the singer.

Well, that can be 1 for Deathwatch, and possibly 4 for Pressure Point (that'd be the Mummy suit's upper half, presumably - there seem to be few objections to the lower half). That adds up to 5 quite nicely. I'd have added one or two more … [View More]

It *is* harsher … [View More]
