I think I got it.

I'll fess up when somebody guesses it, whether I was right or not.

Accept no substitutes. I saw Hershey Felder's Maestro when he performed it at the Royal George Theater. It was great! Very entertaining.

Looks a bit like Lenny.

Yes, obviously.

He was a hottie no matter what age he was.

I really hope they don't fuck it up.

Gotta wonder, though, what made them think that a biopic about a classical conductor from the late 20th century would be a success.

Many of us geezers remember the "Young Peoples' Concerts" when they were on TV. Does anyone seriously think that something like that could succeed today?

Hell, I remember when A&E was the "Arts and Entertainment" channel and they had live classical music on Sunday mornings.

And when the History Channel had shows about history. MFR called it the Hitler channel, they had so many WWII shows.

It's a shame, really, that they don't make more history shows. I really enjoyed them.

On that note, is anyone watching Prehistoric Planet on Apple+? Excellent.

Why would you want to watch a "Young Peoples' Concerts" when you can stare at your telephone and scream about AR-15s and abortion?

I also watched the young peoples concerts.
