Blackletter is a typeface, for instance in the Bible, Gutenberg — itself subject to a Broadway musical; Black Friar is or was an arts org or senior society at University Chicago to which my grandfather belonged. He was also Phi Beta Kappa.
There’s a musical named “Chicago” that Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News once starred in but Pop Pop did not. He wrote something about his fraternity brother Roy Disney taking over the world, which actually came true. Or creating his own world Disneyland.
J.B. Pritzker did meanwhile sing “if I were a rich man” at Beth Am in 1974 when he was 10 and was merely a rich boy; he is governor of Illinois and a Jew. Nathan Shedroff who is Joshua Redman’s first cousin and also worked for the guy who wrote about typefaces and information — I’m forgetting his name — Access Guide guy or guide methinks — is the only other person alive who remembers J.B. pretty impressive take. The history professor at Princeton Amy Borovoy might have been there too but she has not responded for comment.
Something I’m not sure what wants me to close with spit in the whole and tune again.
