Yes, I do, I love ya
I swear on the stars above, I do
I swear on the streetlight on the corner
Shoving back the shadows
One shadow cursing
Another shadow laughing
Underneath the streetlight
I don’t know where they’re coming from
I just see ’em passing
Underneath the streetlight -song “Underneath The Streetlight” by Joni Mitchell
Some of the greatest, funniest, deepest and most memorable conversations I’ve ever had occurred after seeing a play. Often on a street corner, under the lights. Catching up with a friend, talking about the work you just saw, which then opens the door for everything else.
If you’re looking for yet another reason to go see live theatre, consider this a great one.
P.S. – I just caught up with my good friend Mattie after seeing SYLVIA SYLVIA SYLVIA at the Geffen Playhouse (not out on the corner, but in a parking garage as we walked to our cars). The play is terrific and I highly recommend, but the conversation afterwards was epic.
