Thought This Would Be Geeky.
But it basically nailed me to the wall and made me kinda actually misty.
Max will probably like this even more than I do.

Not a big fan of “Les Mis”, but it is heartening to see a bunch folks standing up and singing proudly of the America we’ve known and loved… and which now is in mortal danger!
Jennifer Shelton’s defiant and flashing eyes in particular misted me up a little.
My nearly simultaneous and like-minded comment touches more on the raw reality and is also wrenching but probably more discouraging…

I’ll have to give it another listen at better volume with headphones. I do like the spirit of it. I really could use subtitles. One of the reasons I think I generally hate musicals is that the lyrics are so dumbed down in order to be understandable. Opera doesn’t seem to quite have that problem as much – or maybe the fact that they’re usually translated and accompanied by classical music makes them seem more profound. This one looks like a pretty decent message, and delivered with passion. A nice idea.
