TIM RICE: MY BARMY FAN MAIL

LyrICIST Sir Tim rice seems to be getting fed up with devotees of the musical blockbusters he wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Sir Tim was in New york for NBC Television’s live production of Jesus Christ Superstar when he admitted there’s a limit to his enthusiasm for his 1971 musical.

‘you occasionally get letters from fans — I shouldn’t say this — who I tend to think are slightly barmy,’ he said. ‘ “I’ve seen it 248 times,” [they write] and you think, that’s awful.’
