Pushing up Daisies? Not Quite Yet

Sooner or later we’ll kick the bucket, buy the farm, push up the daisies, be hauled away in wooden pajamas or whatever. While waiting, there is a free service you just may want to consult, and then again you may not. Developed a decade or so ago, the original now has a number of rivals. Named The Death Clock or something similar, all are easily located on the Internet and each will project day, month and year of — your death!

The film is a musical. Shortly after the movie begins, a brave but nervous girl walks onto a nearly completed stage. High overhead workmen are rigging electrical wire and so on. In a bored voice an assistant director says, “Okay, kid.” A pianist launches for the 89th time into the audition song. And there it is! A voice that comes along once in a generation.
