They don't hide 'em anymore. Cheaper these days to just come for the person who sez he sees 'em.

A couple of families recently told me that they showed or took their 9-to-10-year-old children to the Wilson staging of the Philip Glass opera Einstein on the Beach, and the kids were transfixed for the whole performance. I found it interesting how Wilson's staging seemed to make Glass's music so accessible.
