----------------------------
    Rich Rosen (pyuxn!rlr), in his argument against subgroups of net.music,
mentioned casually, in describing Bernstein as a "popular" composer, that he
wrote a rock opera.  Rich, would you (or anyone else who knows what Rich is
referring to) care to elaborate on this?  I'm familiar with most of Bernstein's
musical output, and I can't think of anything that I would characterize as
either rock or an opera.  The closest I can come is his Mass, which uses some
rock elements in it, but it's by no stretch of the imagination an opera.
