Yeah but he is woke for succumbing to pressure from a left wing political group. That’s a giant problem, isn’t it? I was told it was.

Anyway, the point it that he is long since dead. He has trusted his work to his estate. So any changes that come, come from "him" and his people and the changing times we live in.

Recent Broadway productions of Carousel and Porgy and Bess had rewrites to remove domestic violence and racial content. I'm sure the long-deceased authors would have said "bullshit!" as they would have a right to, but that is neither here not there. Do you want to let these shows remain current or do you want them to disappear into the dustbin of history?

I am not answering the question, I am asking it. There are infrequently easy answers when it comes to art. I have a film from 2007 that has explicit racial invective in it. I know I have to take it out, even if it completely makes sense for the charters and the story (neo Nazis...) because I know no one wants to hear people yelling the N word in a movie in '23.

So here we are in riding the crest of the wave in changing times trying to find a balance.
