Aubade
Unseasonable
Monday, 23 May 2011

¶ The weather here in New York is so grimly unseasonable that the sad story of Joseph Brooks, composer of the song “You Light Up My Life,” seems like the only story worth telling. Joseph Goldstein’s news item does not appear to be an obituary. What pathos! ¶ David Carr considers electrocuting Nancy Grace. Not really! He is cheered to note that her falling ratings may induce a fate worse than death. If we took a dimmer view of human nature, we would not be surprised that standing up for the victims of crimes could involve so much unattactive behavior.
