Lookback to some good times for my parodies ten years ago this week - The Times reprinted Lin-Manuel Miranda's tweet "Freddie the NYTimes commenter is a local treasure."

 Looking back on some good times for my parodies ten years ago this week - New York Times editor Daniel McDermon asked me to write a parody lyric noting the last post of the Times' ArtsBeat column. And in a "meta" moment, on June 1, 2016, the New York Times reprinted Lin-Manuel Miranda's tweet "Freddie the NYTimes commenter is a local treasure."

The full parody lyric and the full New York Times article are at this link.
