Connor-- How long have you lived on the planet? I think you need to have lived through a few more of life's timelines to understand the levels and layers of cultural and historical significance that are happening in Hamilton.

Maybe so! I'm sure there are things in play I don't understand that others appreciate. My objection is to the role the show has been assigned in the culture by a certain segment of its audience, not so much the show itself

I have never seen Hamilton. I have exactly zero desire to see Hamilton. I love musicals with the big love of a person who worshipped Cyd Charisse. This one? Nope. Nope, for all the reasons you've given, and then some. That Ben Franklin song by the Decemberists, THAT I like. Ben is my man.

I respect the decision of anyone who doesn't want to see this musical. I felt like I had to for the newsletter and was pleasantly surprised

Hm. Well, if it shows up on tv someday. I don't have D+, either! Blast this streaming service gatekeeping!
