    As always, Kenton's vocal magic, the intelligence & theatricality of his story telling and the minimalist magic of his collaborators produce yet another piece of musical art. It rocked.
    Let's not forget Miss Billie Eilish. The progenitor of this wonderful musical drama, freely given to every to everyone who has a take on the same narrative. The song itself is the star here.
