Bernstein is actually distantly related to me

I had no idea. Neat.

and no one of my acquaintance has anything particularly good to say about him; that said, whatever his sins are, I have the sense they are of a completely different genre than Leonard Cohen's.

I don't think of him as doing the serial muse thing, although it might just be that I don't know enough about his life. Also, I like more of his music.

I love the stepmother, too, though I have forgotten her name; a lot of her charm is in the agency of her subjectivity.

Topaz. She rocks.
