high school dating. Or
having a girlfriend. A
somewhat foreign but
fairly fortuitous experi-
ment that took me into
1989 and toward senior
prom. But, by then, the
experience was pretty
much over, which led
to going to prom with
a friend. Which was
not a date. Once at the
party, we went our sep-
arate ways, and were
both totally fine with
that. But omigod it’s
okay if I don’t write.
Isn’t it okay if I can’t
write about Doctor
Atomic? About
Peter Sellars’
libretto after
2 glasses of
pinot grigio
with Claudia?
I’m not sure
how long I’ve
been trying to
make this record.
I don’t even think
I’m being paid for it.
What can I do? It’s
a life. It’s a happening.
