You're So Next!


What's Up Doc? We're watching one of our favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons, Rabbit of Seville, where Bugs plays the barber and essentially tortures Elmer Fudd with a very close shave and a variety of hairgrowing and haircutting treatments. It all starts with Elmer vainly attempting to hunt Bugs down in the Hollywood Hills near the Bowl. They end up on stage in the middle of the Barber of Seville set and when the conductor starts the overture, Bugs as usual, take the upper hands.

"Welcome to my shop, Let me cut your mop! Yes, You're Next! You're So Next! " It's all to get us in the mood for a Classic Cartoon Festival at Boston Symphony Hall today. We're heading downtown.
