Here, here.  There's nothing new under the sun.  Racy, sexy tunes, Porter 
was a humourous master.  Gershwin tunes taught me that sweet love songs can 
be unbelievably beautiful, too.  And although I have a lot of respect for 
Webber & Sondheim, well, the world has changed since HMS Pinnafore & 
Oklahoma were able to be written.  Things like that can't be written 
anymore.  Different things are written now with different perspectives.  You 
can here how the world has changed by listening to Cole Porter.
