I now say that the oldest man living never heard of the president of a great nation to come down to open electioneering for his successor.

Broadway is another monster. I've been touring since I was 12 years old and I love being on the road - one day you're here, next day it's snowing, and the next you are in a desert and it's 110 degrees.
