Coveting

I want a Marilyn Horne Zippo lighter! (I was just listening to a Met Opera broadcast intermission feature about her, from which I learned that both she and the Zippo are from Bradford, PA, hence the commemorative lighter.) It was Marilyn Horne, by the way, who described the standard roles for the operatic mezzo-soprano in one of my favorite Opera Singer Quotations ever: "I’m either the girl who doesn’t get the guy, or I am the guy, and that’s fine with me."
