Come on, Barry, it was just a passing Internet remark.  But, okay, make it 
"To me it's Our Town IN CONTRAST TO Finnegans Wake or Wagner's Ring."  I 
don't think it very apt, though.  And I'll admit that I don't think much of 
"Our Town."  But I also have problems with Finnegans Wake, which I found too 
hermetic the last time I tried to get into it.  But that was long ago. 
Maybe I'd do better now.
