What Spring Awakening will hopefully inspire is lyricists exploring how songs can function as more than—other than—sung scenes, but can open, as music does, tonal and intuitive windows into their characters’ hearts. Musical theater lyrics can function expressionistically, rather than always literally. You know, the way pop songs do. We lament musical theater’s estrangement from popular music, but if there is a chance for musical theater to grow as a form by singing in a pop idiom, it’s not just loud guitars. It’s this.

Ok, I’m 30 and I had a cell phone my senior year of high school. Well, we called them “car phones” back then and it only had 30 minutes a month “FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY” but it wasn’t attached to the car so I think that technically makes it a cell phone.

but did you take it inside the school? YOU TOOK YOUR CAR PHONE INSIDE THE SCHOOL? i don’t believe you. they weren’t allowed at my school.

has your girlfriend ever made you breakfast in bed?did you enjoy it? i’ve always wondered if people do that irl, it seems so awkward and uncomfy I need space and an easy to wipe surface for the mess I make.

i feel like all manner of business should be conducted in or on a bed when possible. when i was younger [before starbucks or the internet was invented], i imagined that my bed was a large sea vessel, which made it impossible to conduct business from the floor, as that was clearly the ocean and, of course, i can’t swim.

in short, yes.

Many of these attitudes [about Generation-Yers], furthermore, rely heavily on binaries that reinforce who “counts” and who does not: You either work full-time, or you’re lazy. You’re willing to be mistreated in the workplace and do whatever it takes “for the job,” or you’re a wimp. Suck it up, or go home. If you’re not making enough money to live on or are poor, you just aren’t working hard enough. If you ask for “accommodations,” you’re asking for too much — just do your job! You have to work hard to “make it,” and if you don’t work hard enough, it’s your fault. If you don’t like your job or face daily mistreatment, you can always quit and find another one, right? But if you can’t, it’s your fault, and why did you quit that job, anyway? … The message for Generation Y, in general, may be “Get over yourself,” but the message for those who do not fit the characteristics of the “average” Generation Y worker is more severe — and ultimately more dire.
