I’ve got a preview in the Weekender of the apparently quite popular Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Turns out the show’s Phantom (among other roles), Ron Bohmer, is an unreformed comic book geek, just like me.

I keep forgetting that Bono and Edge wrote the music for the budget-busting Julie Taymor Spider-Man, or rather, Spiderman, a distinction of great significance. Because I don’t want to believe it. I mean, I like U2, Taymor, and Spidey separately, but all together? Sounds like bacon and ice cream.

    OK, good—I’m not the only one who’s scared of this combination of 2 of my top-10 favorite things and 1 thing I highly respect and enjoy.*

    erhm….

    *Taymor is who I respect. U2 and Spidey are parts of the bedrock of my existance
