"heyjoe" claims she's a "nut job". "heyjoe"'s 4/17/10 - 2:42 AM comment reflects poor humor. The target of that poor humor is LIZA MINNELLI of all people! One gracious lady. A world class performer. For many years MINNELLI's made this difficult world a better place in which to live by singing from her heart with unbelievable talent. Does the City of Portland even deserve her presence? Her show should sell out in no time fast. -- THANK YOU, LIZA MINNELLI FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE TO PERFORM IN MAINE!
