I would recommend removing Simon Estes from the "bad linguist" list.

Sorry..he is unique in that category..His Italian in the Aida was very

I don't think you do. Moreover, you don't seem to know it when you sing
it. When I heard you barking and woofing that bit from Tosca I was
scandalized. I really couldn't bear it. I found myself wishing for
Simon Estes or Osie Hawkins.

hey, bollman, when do we get to hear your numerous triumphant recordings on ipod or mp3 or out of a bullhorn (or was that bull*** horn?) in some manhattan subway station? the world is dying to hear your output. or maybe something of one of your many world famous students? if all goes well, maybe you'll get some entries in the lucifer classics catalogue, along with that soprano we hear so much about from your tattooed amico, the odious gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby. i understand that your signing was a throwback to the golden age ... or ought we just throw back you into the fetid swamp you inhabit.

leave us. you smell.
