...Ain't No Sin. Scoring a triumph in his first television opera-and in a role that he had infrequently sung before-was about par for Tozzi. He made his Met debut only six years ago; since then, he has thrown his big bronze voice into 27 different Met roles-including King Phillip in Don Carlo, Fiesco in Simon Boccanegra, Padre Guardiano in La Forza del Destino-and in the process has become one of the world's great bassos...

Although he took voice lessons, he majored in biology at Chicago's DePaul University.

Couple of people got raped, couple more got their teeth kicked in, but way up there those far-away old stars are still doing their old cosmic crisscross, and there ain't a thing we can do about it. It's pretty quiet now. Folk hereabouts get to bed early, those that can still walk. Down behind the morgue a few of the young people are roastin' a nigger over an open fire, but I guess every town...
