Takedown From the Stage

In the theater, Ms. Patti LuPone Asked some patrons, who’d certainly known, To adjust what did look Like not quite by-the-book Masks on faces so noses weren’t shown. They refused so she told them to go, Using language which all of us know. They did angrily say, “We your paycheck do pay!” Her response made my praise for her grow. Let all those who can’t follow the rules Be called out when they’re acting like tools. In the theater that means One of Broadway’s top queens May expose them for what they are - fools!

Last night's news featured a girl whose father died from COVID-19 which he caught by refusing to wear a mask or to get vaccinated. Needless to say she would much rather have her father than his ideals. Nice one, Ilene! Aloha!
