Whatever happened to ‘indisposed’?

That used to be the catch-all excuse for all musical cancellations from major surgery to an illicit tryst in Hawaii.

I think we finally drove the term out of business.

Now they’re falling back on ‘personal reasons’ – which is even crappier.

What, exactly, is a personal reason?

Leaky bladder? A director with wandering hands? Cat has to be taken to the vet? Pasta’s not up to mamma’s standards? New boyfriend doesn’t like Verdi?

Any more suggestions?
