Luke was quoting Beethoven this morning: "Life is short; art is eternal". This seems appropriate since we are talking about the brain tumor that took Gershwin's life at the young age of 38.
The same age Mendelssohn was...
'Porgy and Bess' premiered in 1935 but was not very popular until later. Some actors refused to perform in it since they didn't like the way it portrayed African American life. Even so, songs like 'Summertime' are still popular today.
What do you think of the tumor, Luke? Is it the right size?
It could be bloodier.
