evidently Joss is only participating on the panel discussion about popular culture...
I'm disappointed because I was hoping for some of his music from OMWF
Who knows who invited him, but who ever did is correct:
Joss is definitely someone who knows & understands popular culture!

As someone who loves, loves, LOVES musicals, it stands to reason that Joss would be a Sondheim fan. He wrote in the liner notes of the OMWF CD that he envisioned Stephen Sondheim "descending from the heavens to proclaim him (Joss) a songwriter".
