My new theory is that Aaron Sorkin is deliberately making Studio 60 as unlike a real sketch comedy as possible.

Sting and his lute? Granted, it's topical - the album just came out, or is coming out - but Dowland? Dowland? On a comedy show (or at least a comedy show soundcheck)? Not to mention that I seriously object to being forced to listen to Sting butcher those poor lute songs. Bad enough that I was forced to experience the badness at work.

But I will forgive him. Because I love the show.

Oddly, I am not offended by Sting singing lute songs. Sorry! I could be completely wrong, as I am not a lute song expert and I have not listened to the whole album (just the songs on his website). But...it makes me think of a poor, grungy wandering minstrel type dude. They couldn't have all had beautiful voices back then. To me it was more interesting than hearing another boring countertenor sing them....again. And hey....at least he's English :)

Oh, I SUPPOSE you're allowed to enjoy it. Hee.

Picking on new CDs seems to be the order of the day at work right now. Particularly people who have massive fan bases and could not care less what we think about them. ;)
