NOW NOW OH NOW
is the title of the next new work by the Rudes (which you may have seen workshopped as “CL1000P”). NOW NOW OH NOW with no punctuation.
But we thought it might be amusing to some to share the full list of titles we auditioned. But before I do, I want to tell you about a rule we have in Rudelandia that roughly goes, “if you notice a typo in a postcard after it has been printed, keep it to yourself because nothing can be done about it.” And there is a lot to be learned from this rule and its application to areas beyond postcardary. In this instance the rule seems to suggest that while you may prefer other titles to NOW NOW OH NOW, you should do so privately because we ain’t going back.
