Just the other night, I informed a rather astute music person that the Book of Mormon was written by Matt & Trey from South Park.  Even after I told them, they still didn’t believe me.  It took a web search on a cell phone to confirm my piece of incredulous information.  It wasn’t that it was impossible to think that Matt & Trey had the musical chops to write a musical…it was insane to think they had won best play…especially for a play whose signature song is “Fuck You God.”  Another piece of this story is how much smaller our worlds became in 2011.  With music libraries popping up available on everyone’s phone, we really saw the beginning of the future of how we will listen to music.  Apple had started it with the iphone…but the Android platform doubled the market overnight.  How far away are we from best playlists instead of best albums?  Sooner than we think…
