I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Yes! I've been mentioned on a podcast, was in the Acknowledgments of a romance novel, and my name cane up in a book about social media. Had conversations in DMs with well-known people in the arts, fashion, tv and writing, which would NEVER have happened without it. Never earned a penny though.

Paul Mescal is an excellent actor but he has not the charismatic or gravitas to carry that particular role.

I suspect when Jenrick imagined saying the final words "let's build this new order, let's take our country back," his voice BOOMED and the roar of the crowd was DEAFENING. In the event, his voice cracked and was met with the politeness of a local baking contest won by "a not-bad lemon drizzle". ~AA
