[Kzyxtalk] Romeo and Juliet.

Subject: Romeo and Juliet.

/"Rudeness is an expression of fear. People fear they won't get what 
they want. The most dreadful and unattractive person only needs to be 
loved and they will open up like a flower... I am reminded of a verse:  
The painter's brush touched the inchoate face by ends of nimble 
bristles, and with that blush of earth color rendered her lifeless cheek 
livid..." -M. Gustave, of The Grand Budapest Hotel/

I'd like to read your writing on the radio. Just email it to me. Or send 
me a link to your writing project and I'll take it from there.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not-necessarily-radio-useful but 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, 
such as:

Rerun: "J. Edgar Hoover has said, sex-mad magazines are creating 
criminals faster than we can build jails to house them."

And this question was deeply emotionally explored in /Farscape/, in the 
story arc where John was copied and Aeryn and John finally really got 
together, or rather Aeryn and /one of the Johns/ got together when away 
on a mission, and John died horribly of radiation poisoning while Aeryn 
had to sit there and watch. Then Aeryn returned to Moya and the 
surviving John who knew nothing of all this, and it breaks your heart, 
but they can't relate. Though the Johns are identical, this one isn't 
the one she went through all that trauma with, and she can't stand to 
look at him, so their relationship is back to square one. Worse than 
square one.
