Too fun.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, I&#8217;ve decided to lift part of my mild stigma against Andrew Lloyd Webber. Sure, he has his share of drivel, but I really love a lot of the <i>Phantom<\/i> music (and it&#8217;s inspiring, too), so I hereby give the composer a gold star and a thumbs-up and an apology for all the jokes I&#8217;ve cracked about him.
