- Well, you can't fault DS for a bad libretto for something he wrote. It's
- almost guaranteed that he didn't have much to do with it. Besides, don't
- fault the man for writing hack-work, what some people refer to as "shit":
- the man had to eat and feed his wife and kids. Usually, he did a pretty
- good job with his hack work. The "Festive Overture" is a prime example of
- this.
