    I suspect Dell and/or Rachel Maddow social media people used their connections with Twitter's social media people to crash my free expression DREAM space ship.

    When I asked multiple times, "What tweet was in violation? and What rule was violated", Elon/Twitter did NOT respond.

    When I purchased two Dell 30 inch, expensive displays, which I used to create these mixes, Dell would only replace one! Dell's support group, they call "DellCares", which would be better called "DellCares NOT", stated "it was their policy to replace only one, because the displays both failed approximately one month after their explicit warranty, notwithstanding that defective merchandise is covered by an implicit warranty as to fitness of product. This was a known manufacturing DEFECT.
    Please send a tweet to Michael Dell's twitter account, which is @MichaelDell, and ask him to heal an old wound, and ship me, plewin@optonline.net, a replacement for my 2nd display.

    For those who requested, here are the lyrics to Lea's great performance:
    I dreamed a dream in times gone by
    When hope was high and life worth living
    I dreamed, that love would never die
    I dreamed that God would be forgiving
    Then I was young and unafraid
    And dreams were made and used and wasted
    There was no ransom to be paid
    No song unsung, no wine untasted
    But the tigers come at night
    With their voices soft as thunder
    As they tear your hope apart
    As they turn your dream to shame
    He slept a summer by my side
    He filled my days with endless wonder
    He took my childhood in his stride
    But he was gone when autumn came
    And still I dream he'll come to me
    That we will live the years together
    But there are dreams that cannot be
    And there are storms we cannot weather
    I had a dream my life would be
    So different from this hell I'm living
    So different now from what it seemed
    Now life has killed the dream
    I dreamed

      ..and on top of her incredible skill and mastery of her vocal range and control, she manages to completely act and perform the scene in a concert performance setting with no set and without much of the spoken material, without moving around, just standing at a stationary microphone.
      That is an exceptional performer.
      They have done several more anniversary celebration performances of les miserables and the 10th anniversary performance and cast are still pretty much unanimously and without objection regarded as the best cast and performance and often referred to as 'the dream cast'.
      I have always been a fan of Lea's, from kindergarten when Mulan was my favorite movie, and I have seen so many versions of Eponine and I dreamed a dream, many from incredible talented, amazing performers, but Lea is just on a completely different level and I don't think anyone will ever come close to her performance of this song and as Eponine overall.

    When hope was high and life worth living
    I dreamed, that love would never die
    I dreamed that God would be forgiving
    Then I was young and unafraid
    And dreams were made and used and wasted
    There was no ransom to be paid
    No song unsung, no wine untasted
    But the tigers come at night
    With their voices soft as thunder
    As they tear your hope apart
    As they turn your dream to shame
    He slept a summer by my side
    He filled my days with endless wonder
    He took my childhood in his stride
    But he was gone when autumn came
    And still I dream he'll come to me
    That we will live the years together
    But there are dreams that cannot be
    And there are storms we cannot weather
    I had a dream my life would be
    So different from this hell I'm living
    So different now from what it seemed
    Now life has killed the dream

    For sheer spine tingling, tear inducing performance Lea hits me every time. Ruthie Henshall also has the same effect. That said, and cinematic editing notwithstanding, I have to say Anne Hathaway's portrayal as Fantine and her performance of this deeply moving ballad deserves recognition. A grown adult male blubbing like an infant may not be an appealing sight but that's how I was in the cinema when Les Mis' took to the silver screen. I've seen 3 productions of this fantastic show in the West End, sadly none with the original cast, and thoroughly enjoyed each occasion. Both the 10th and 25th anniversary productions were a fine tribute to this timeless classic.
