To add to my "Great, Tortured Stephen Sondheim" series, this great April Fool's Day article from Broadwayworld.com "by" Stephen Sondheim on "Songs I Wish I'd Never Written".

My favorite excerpts:

"Send In The Clowns" from A Little Night Music: For the next eight and a half years I kept on being introduced at all these parties and social functions as "Stephen Sondheim, the man who wrote 'Send In The Clowns.'" Then I wrote "Merrily We Roll Along" and they stopped inviting me.

and

"Giants In The Sky" from Into The Woods: Fellas, a bit of advice. If you're over eighteen you should not be singing this song at auditions. Really. Go back to "Corner of the Sky" or something.
