Tom Stoppard's play "Rock & Roll" is coming to New York. He writes about it in the latest Vanity Fair. It seems he was originally intending to write a play about Syd Barrett the great lost frontman of Pink Floyd, but then took a creative detour.
This line at the end of the piece really resonates: "every story, made up or otherwise...is secretly about time, the disinterested ongoingness of everything, the unconditional mutability that makes every life poignant." - Tom Stoppard
