It has become fiendishly expensive to produce and has more competition than ever. And yet the believers still believe. Why? And does the world really want a new musical about ... Abraham Lincoln?!

631. Will "3 Summers of Lincoln" Make It to Broadway? | Freakonomics Radio Apr 25, 2025

 

631. Will "3 Summers of Lincoln" Make It to Broadway? | Freakonomics Radio Apr 25, 2025, Freakonomics Radio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhaA9Y5zB8c

It’s been in development for five years and has at least a year to go. On the eve of its out-of-town debut, the actor playing Lincoln quit. And the producers still need to raise another $15 million to bring the show to New York. There really is no business-like show business. (Part three of a three-part series.)

A hit like "Hamilton" can come from nowhere while a sure bet can lose $20 million in a flash. We speak with some of the biggest producers in the game — Sonia Friedman, Jeffrey Seller, Hal Luftig — and learn that there is only one guarantee: the theater owners always win.

Freakonomics Radio episodes 629, 630, and 631 form a three-part series titled "How Is Live Theater Still Alive?".

 

The episodes explore the economics of the live theater industry, tracing the life cycle of Broadway shows and breaking down why producing live theater is a notoriously difficult, high-risk financial endeavor. [1, 2, 3]

 

Here is a breakdown of the three episodes:

 

Episode 629: "How Is Live Theater Still Alive?"

• The Core Theme: Examines why live theater continues to survive despite being susceptible to the economic concept known as Baumol's Cost Disease. Because live theater cannot be easily scaled and remains essentially a hand-made product requiring countless real people, it becomes highly vulnerable to massive inflation. The episode explores human psychology, discussing how theater is fundamentally tied to our innate desire for gossip and observing human behavior. [1]

 

Episode 630: "On Broadway, Nobody Knows Nothing"

• The Core Theme: Focuses on the financial risks of the industry, revealing that while a select few blockbuster hits like Hamilton can achieve immense success, a vast majority of sure bets can easily lose tens of millions of dollars. Stephen Dubner speaks with legendary Broadway producers (including Sonia Friedman, Jeffrey Seller, and Hal Luftig) who note that the only guaranteed winners are the theater landlords. The episode also dives into the high costs of scaling a production and the financial pressures from 13 different labor unions. [1]

 

Episode 631: "Will '3 Summers of Lincoln' Make It to Broadway?"

• The Core Theme: Documents the out-of-town trial process of a brand-new musical, "Three Summers of Lincoln," as a real-world case study. The episode highlights the unpredictable nature of show business, detailing the hurdles the production faces—such as needing to raise an additional $15 million before a New York debut and the sudden departure of a lead actor. [1, 2]

Dido - Thank You (Official Video)

Lyrics

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why

I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be grey

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

I drunk too much last night, got bills to pay

My head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today

I'm late for work again

And even if I'm there, they'll all imply

That I might not last the day

And then you call me and it's not so bad

It's not so bad

And I

Want to thank you

For giving me the best day

Of my life

Oh

Just to be with you

Is having the best day

Of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last

And I'm soaking through and through

Then you handed me a towel

And all I see is you

And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue

Because you're near me

And I

Want to thank you

For giving me the best day

Of my life

Oh

Just to be with you

Is having the best day

Of my life

And I

Want to thank you

For giving me the best day

Of my life

Oh

Just to be with you

Is having the best day

Of my life

Paris Paloma - labour [Official Video]

Lyrics for "Labour" by Paris Poloma

Released: 2024

Artist: Paris Paloma

Album: Cacophony

Genre: Alternative/Indie

According to an overview Labour found in the internet, “The title of the song "Labour" by Paris Paloma has a double meaning: it refers to the emotional, mental, and physical labor women perform in relationships and households, and it also alludes to childbirth and child-rearing. The song is a "fiery feminist anthem" about escaping a toxic relationship, critiquing patriarchal expectations that women shoulder the burden of domestic duties while their male partners do not. The lyrics and visuals depict a woman at her breaking point, preparing to "escape" the domestic paradise she built for a partner who takes her for granted.”

Key themes and interpretations

Double meaning of "labour": Domestic and emotional labor: The song highlights the often-invisible work of maintaining a household, including "therapist, mother, and maid" roles that women are expected to perform for a partner who contributes little. 

Childbirth and child-rearing: The title also refers to the physical labor of giving birth and the long-term work of raising children. 

Escaping a toxic relationship: The lyrics and official video use a metaphor of a woman escaping an island, symbolizing the difficult and dangerous process of leaving an abusive or unbalanced relationship. 

The line "So that he never lifts a finger" has a double meaning, one of laziness and another of a woman working to avoid physical violence. 

Critique of the patriarchy: The song challenges societal expectations that place the burden of unpaid domestic labor on women, even when they also work outside the home. It addresses issues like weaponized incompetence, where a partner feigns helplessness to avoid chores. 

A broader community movement: The song has resonated globally, with women using its lyrics to create videos about their own experiences with gender inequality and misogyny.

Lyrics

One, two, three

Why are you hanging on so tight

To the rope that I'm hanging from?

Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan)

Carefully timed it, so let me go

And dive into the waves below

Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables?

Emotional torture from the head of your high table

Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring?

And walk back down again to feel your words

And their sharp sting

And I'm getting fucking tired

The capillaries in my eyes are bursting

If our love died, would that be the worst thing?

For somebody I thought was my saviour

You sure make me do a whole lot of labour

The calloused skin on my hands is cracking

If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?

And the silence haunts our bed chamber

You make me do too much labour

You make me do too much labour

Apologies from my tongue, and never yours

Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork

I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)

And weaponise

The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise

If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her

The emotional torture from the head of your high table

She'd do what you taught her

She'd meet the same cruel fate

So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake

At least I've gotta try

The capillaries in my eyes are bursting

If our love died, would that be the worst thing?

For somebody I thought was my saviour

You sure make me do a whole lot of labour

The calloused skin on my hands is cracking

If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?

And the silence haunts our bed chamber

You make me do too much labour

All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid

Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, then a servant

Just an appendage, live to attend him

So that he never lifts a finger

24/7 baby machine

So he can live out his picket-fence dreams

It's not an act of love if you make her

You make me do too much labour

All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid

Nymph, then virgin, nurse, then a servant

Just an appendage, live to attend him

So that he never lifts a finger

24/7 baby machine

So he can live out his picket-fence dreams

It's not an act of love if you make her

You make me do too much labour

The capillaries in my eyes (all day, every day)

Are bursting (therapist, mother, maid)

If our love died (nymph, then virgin)

Would that be the worst thing? (Nurse, then a servant)

For somebody (just an appendage)

I thought was my saviour (live to attend him)

You sure make me do (so that)

A whole lot of labour (he never lifts a finger)

The calloused skin on my hands (24/7)

Is cracking (baby machine)

If our love ends (so he can live out)

Would that be a bad thing? (His picket-fence dreams)

And the silence (it's not an act of love)

Haunts our bed chamber (if you make her)

You make me do too much labour

Daisy Gray - Wicked Game (Official Tribute Video)

Wicked Game by Chris Isaak.

The song ‘Wicked Game,’ about obsessive love, was featured on Isaak’s third album which debuted in 1989, “Heart Shaped World.”

The music video, “directed by Herb Ritts and featuring model Helena Christensen, cemented its legendary status and contributed to its overwhelming popularity.”

The original guitar part, which is now incredibly recognizable for its haunting melancholy, was written by James Calvin Wilsey. At first Isaak didn’t like it, but the producers got excited over the lick and decided to run with it. Seeing that it was gaining traction in the studio, Isaak put some lyrics to it.

According to one version of the story, “A woman called Isaak late at night, inviting herself over with the explicit suggestion of ‘talking until you're no longer able to stand up.’ The song captures that intense, often destructive pull towards someone you know you shouldn't be with…”

According to multiple commentaries, Isaak's "Wicked Game" “originated from a late-night phone call from a woman offering a ‘talk’ that was clearly a euphemism for something more, inspiring Isaak to write about the dangerous attraction to someone ‘not necessarily good for you.’

“Though initially a sleeper hit, it gained massive fame after being featured in David Lynch's 1990 film Wild at Heart, propelled by its iconic, haunting guitar work by James Wilsey and its steamy music video, becoming a signature song for its seductive vibe and themes of obsessive love.”

Karen Mock Brown, of Westminster

  Karen Mock Brown, of Westminster

Local artist, devoted supporter of the Carroll County Maryland Arts Council, and faithful Westminster Grace Lutheran Church member, Karen Mock Brown, of Westminster, passed away on October 16, 2025.

 

Friends and family gathered at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster, MD, on Saturday, November 1, 2025 for a celebration of her life.

 

A life well lived. According to a tribute to Ms. Brown, found in the celebration of life bulletin

 

On Thursday, October 16, 2025,Karen Amelia (Mock) Brown passed peacefully from this life into eternal  life with God. Karen was born and raised  in the Baltimore area and graduated  from Overlea Senior High in 1963. She later completed a BS degree from College of Notre Dame of Maryland, graduating in 1982.

 

After working in the corporate world for about 20 years, Karen "retired" to pursue a career in art. Never  one  to  stay  stagnant,  she  first  created  works  of calligraphy, which then led to painting with both acrylics and watercolors- often times combining words and images to create art with deeper meaning.

 

Her goal was not just to elicit a response, but to touch souls. Painting led to collage, which then led back to her very first creative endeavor: sewing. At this time, Karen began to create art quilts. These beautiful quilts depicted natural images, told stories, and sometimes started conversations urging us to think deeply. In addition to creating art, she also taught various classes in technique and creativity. She would tell you that the following Mary Oliver quote summed up her life: "Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

More important than her artwork, however, was her faith and her family.

 

Karen was an amazing mom who always had time for her children's pursuits and endeavors. She was their greatest cheerleader, but not afraid to give them a push when they were not living up to their full potential.

 

As a single mom, she introduced them to the joys of traveling by way of camping. The three of them could pitch a tent, in the dark, in under 10 minutes.

 

She was a dedicated Mimi to her five grandchildren. She never saw them as just one big collection, but knew all of them as individuals and spent time with each doing the things that he or she most enjoyed. Over the last 31 years, she attended, recitals, concerts, plays, and a variety of athletic activities in which her grandchildren outshone everyone else.

 

She was a devoted member of Grace Lutheran Church and volunteered in various ministries throughout the years.

Karen is survived by her two children and their spouses: Susie and Eric Davis; and Sean and Jessica Quintilian; her five grandchildren Matthew  Davis, Abigail (and Brice) Ingram, Joshua (and Ashley) Davis; and Juliana and Bella Quintilian.

 

She survived by two great-grandchildren who lit up her life with their smiles. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews who have their own special memories of Aunt Karen.

 

Karen also has many friends who will miss her presence in their lives including some whom she has remained close to since grade school.

 

Karen was predeceased by her parents, Emma and Robert Mock as well as her two older brothers and their spouses Charles and Virginia Mock, and Frank and Judy Mock.

A memorial service will be held at Grace  Lutheran  Church  in  Westminster  on  Saturday, November 1 at 11:00. The family will receive visitors after the service at a luncheon in fellowship hall. Karen would prefer you to forgo the black funeral attire and wear color, especially purple!

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster: https://gracelc.org/.

And the Carroll Arts Council also in Westminster: https://carrollcountyartscouncil.org/

Ten Years After - 50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain (2017 Remaster)(Official...

#amwriting while listening to Alvin Lee and  Ten Years After - 50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain

I want to know you

I want to show you

I want to grow you

Inside of me

I want to see you

I want to free you

I want to be you

Inside of me

Love me 50,000 miles beneath my brain

Love me 50,000 times and then again

Can you love me with a thousand eyes?

Can you see right through my bones?

Can you kiss me with a thousand lips?

Can you melt a solid stone?

Can you hear me from a thousand miles

When you're screaming at the stars?

Can you pull me up to Jupiter

When I'm all hung up on Mars?

Burn my eyes with your flame

Let your world spin free

Let it go, baby

I'll do the same

All depends on me

Let it go

It's all the same

What with jewels that you can't see

Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, babe

Bring it on home to me

I want to fuse my soul to yours

Come on baby come on back to me

Ooo.. now I got some love for you my friend

I got some love for you just put your arms around one time and see

Shorts remixing this video

What’s it really like to watch the Tour de France from the roadside?

Aug 7, 2025  FRANCE: Join me in the Pyrenees as I spend two days chasing the race through the mountains. From riding to the viewing point on the mountain side, to the excitement of watching the publicity caravan, and then the buzz of the crowd as the riders race past. This video captures the full experience of spectating roadside at the Tour de France on the climbs of the Col du Soulor and the infamous Col du Tourmalet.

Always Remember Us This Way - Lady Gaga (Lyrics) 🎶

Always Remember Us This Way

Song by Lady Gaga ‧ 2018

That Arizona sky burnin' in your eyes
You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Lovers in the night
Poets tryin' to write
We don't know how to rhyme
But, damn, we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
The part of me that's you will never die

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Oh, yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah
When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way
