This is stuck on my mind for some reason

Okay so Hamilton was a really good musical, super out of the box thinking.

But it is so historically inaccurate.

Hamilton was a loud wealthy hypocritical prick (remind you of anyone?)

And Burr was a educated feminist, and abolitionist, he taught his daughter extensively (she could read and write by the time she was 3 and was learning multiple languages). Burr put his best forward every time.

Really interesting and funny history podcast called the Dollop w/ Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds has 4 parts on Aron Burr’s life: episodes 539-542

Can we just appreciate the ensemble in Hamilton for a sec? My favorite moment in the show (in Non Stop after talking about the federalist papers) ensemble fucking hits THAT and it sounds so good and Leslie Odom Jr. sounds amazing and ensamble just backs him up and makes such a fantastic sounding few seconds

Musical numbers in everyday life (3 / ?)

When you're overhearing someone playing musical numbers (that's a utopic image) in the classroom next door:

I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens.

How does a bastard, orphan son of a whore

And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean

By providence, impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

The 10 dollar

Founding father without a father

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter

By being a self-starter, by 14 

his parents built a very strange machine

designed to view a world unseen,

when it didn't quite work, his folks, they just quit

but Danny took a look inside of it...
