One of the "improvements" planned in the revamp of Facebook is enhanced user expression.

As one tech reviewer explained, ‎"You don’t have to just Like something- now you can [verb] any [noun]."

Great! Hey, Zuckerberg... verb my noun.

Bye Bye Bob
(permalink)

You can't think of Bob Fosse (June 23, 1927 – September 23, 1987) and not remember "Bye Bye Life," the spectacular ending of his semi-autobiographical All That Jazz (1979).

(YouTube video of the "Bye Bye Life" finale. Warning: contains brief nudity.)

When it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil, most just limp into an ill-defined tunnel with a light at its end. Fosse's Joe Gideon character does it with a Palme d'Or-winning Broadway finale.

The ending is abrupt and unsettling. Only Fosse could blend body bags and Ethel Merman and make it work.
