I think that the Hamilton musical is objectively the funniest thing that could happen to that man's memory. Imagine dying of a gunshot wound infection in 1804 and learning from the afterlife that tweenage girls in 2017 are drawing thousands upon thousands of images of you making out with your fellow congressmen because someone wrote a 2-hour rap opera about you. I like to imagine that Hamilton found a monkey's paw and wished to leave a legacy, and this is what it did to him.

Lyrics of Best Kept Secret from the 2004 workshop

[Jason:] I know the song you hide inside your heart It breaks the silence when we stand apart Waiting to dance In a fantasy I dream awake But reality is give and take You take what you can You give time a chance We have to wait until the world is fast asleep I’ll wipe away the doubt And show you why we keep The best kept secret The best kept secret of all

[Peter:] All I ever want is there in your eyes They tell me I’m alright and I realize I always knew Night is a dream that’s over far too fast Day is a scheme that seems to last and last Always biding our time Chasing reason, not rhyme Sometimes it seems the wait is more than I can bear You’re all I’ll ever need and I just want to share The best kept secret

[Jason:] It’s best kept secret

[Peter:] Why can’t you decide to hold my hand?

[Jason:] In front of crowds who’d never understand?

[Peter:] You have to give the world a chance

[Jason:] A chance to what? To see how deep the world can cut? Can you guarantee that they won’t turn their backs on me? [Peter:] It’s not just you? You think the world revolves around your needs [Jason:] I’m just not ready, wait for me! [Peter:] You know we can’t go on forever this way [Jason:] All this forever, can’t you live for today? [Peter:] We have to grow up There’s so much more to love [Jason:] It’s best kept secret [Peter:] The best kept secret [Both:] The best kept secret

Getting friends in to musicals is hard because when they ask what it’s about you have to be like “15 year olds having sex” or “a plant from outer space that takes over the world” or “teenagers killing people for fun” or “Alexander Hamilton”

Conman thinks he can scam a librarian. Failing that, he attempts to teach Iowans music.
