Lame is Rob
I’ve been listening to my “Les Miserables” soundtrack in the car lately. I have other stuff but I keep coming back to that while I’m driving. Not sure why, other than it’s fun to sing along with (aren’t you glad you’re not a passenger in my car?). I also find that I sing all the Javert parts, and none of the Valjean parts. That one’s easier to understand – the villain is always more interesting than the hero. (Plus he has better lines.)
Reminds me of my favorite news clipping of all time, reprinted in the New Yorker in 1990:
“She stressed the importance of women completing their education and considers an open mind and deep thought essential to raising a family.
Hafen is an enthusiastic reader and claims ‘Lame is Rob’ by Victor Hugo as her favorite book.”
