About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: Me, in brief

January 6, 2006 by Terry Teachout

Not only do I feel great, but I’m behaving sensibly, too, so much so that I actually kept my promise and spent the whole week going through my my snail mail and cleaning up my apartment. (The old, unregenerate me would have done it all in a single day, then gone out to a nightclub.) Yes, I wrote two Wall Street Journal pieces, saw two off-Broadway shows, and updated the Top Five section of the right-hand column, but I also spent plenty of time doing plenty of nothing. Hooray for me!


Now here’s a sneak preview of my next “Sightings” column, “Sue and Be Doomed,” which will appear in the “Pursuits” section of Saturday’s Wall Street Journal:

What would you do if your favorite radio station stopped playing your favorite music? In Detroit, seven irate listeners sued. They’ve filed a class-action suit against WDET-FM, the public-radio station of Wayne State University, claiming that the NPR affiliate committed fraud by encouraging them to make donations in support of locally produced weekday music shows, then cancelling those shows and replacing them with national public-affairs programs…..

As always, there’s lots more where that came from. See for yourself–buy a copy of tomorrow’s Journal and look me up.


That’s all, folks. I’ll be back on Monday, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and properly rested. See you then.
