Slightly OT: Maurice Gibb of The Bee Gees "was such a fan of the now classic sitcom [Father Ted] that he was reportedly buried with a complete box set." (http://connachttribune.ie/the-mass-appeal-of-ardal/)

Seeing Bernstein's "Mass" at Disney Hall today. No Mahler (well, maybe a little).

Very interesting article, but now I'm allergic to the word "allergic"...
