The opera angle is fascinating. Thanks, Kurtis.

Canadian Club is making a big ad push recently. Some of the spots are pretty humorous.

CC is a whiskey of last resort. I got a bottle as a Christmas gift, I managed to finish it off in a scant 4 years.

Speaking of whiskey, does anyone over the age of 21 like Canadian Club? If so, would you like a certificate for a $7 rebate on a bottle?

Opera to The Rat is like finger nails down a blackboard.

I'm starting to wonder if there's anything that ISN"T like fingernails down a blackboard to the Rat.

Most bars serve whiskey. That's what bars do.

Most bars serve a bar brand, Jack Daniels and/or Jim Beam. Maybe Wild Turkey. That's it.

A Whiskey Bar offers a wide selection of whiskey, all types and countries of origin. Sort of like what the Happy Gnome does for beer.

Weill and Brecht are nothing like what you would typically think of as “opera.” It’s more like cabaret music — think “Mac the Knife” (and sung a lot more menacingly than Bobby Darin did it.)
