Heh, there's always a good way to start a thread, and that's with a song.

With that in mind, this week in downtown Toronto they are performing pieces by Andrew Lloyd Webber, including some pieces from CATS. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get tickets to the event, but there was an article about it in the paper this past weekend:

Toronto Does Lloyd Webber

Aspects of Andrew

This second article talks about Lloyd Webber which can be best summed up by this gem:
"Why do people take an instant dislike to me?" [Lloyd Webber] asked.

"Well," replied the erudite [Alan Jay] Lerner, "it saves time."

I read that quote in an etiquette book once, in the section about "if you're going to insult people, please do so with grace and style."
