Synonyms for "building": Strongest matches architecture construction home house hut Strong matches domicile edifice erection fabric framework pile superstructure ziggurat I'm kinda leaning towards the "John Williams Music Superstructure", which makes me think of the Death Star...although the "John Williams Music Erection" has a certain ring to it too.

Bayesian 1,363 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Here's a link to Sony Pictures' press release about the renaming, for those interested: https://www.sonypictures.com/corp/press_releases/2024/0118 (Obliquely interesting that this dedication coincides with Columbia Pictures' centennial anniversary.)

Popular Post Tom 4,665 Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 12 hours ago, Brando said: He is crazy witty and charming on these occasions. My favorite is from the late Mancini tribute when Williams went with the widow. “I was all of 25 years old when Henry invited me to Universal Studios to play in his orchestra for a film session,” he recalled. “And apparently, it went very well, and I began to play with Henry on all of his recording sessions. He frequently had a chorus, and there was a beautiful young girl I kept noticing on session after session. One day I said to one of my musician friends, ‘Who is that fabulous blond girl up in the chorus? The third one in from the left.’ And he said, ‘Forget it. That’s Ginny, and she’s married to Hank.’ “So when Ginny invited me to be her date tonight, after I think 60 years” — Williams savored the pause — “I feel like I have finally made it.” Once, Brando, Fabulin and 7 others 1 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, he just wasn't all that interested. Lucas usually looks disinterested when he attends events. I don't think it's his cup of tea, but I'm sure he congratulated Williams for the honour in some other way. JTN and Brando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
