I love it, too. The music is smart and fresh. As for Ellis - his writing is exciting. I really enjoy how he manages to capture a culture and a generation so well. Right now I'm reliving the 90s as I read his book and I'm loving it. Thanks :) <br /><br />Lisa, I have to admit its hard to accept. In fact, sometimes I feel like I haven't. Its hard to watch people walking around with their Trump hats on and smiling so happily. And the news just gets me even more upset. I just try to accept it, so that I can move forward. Its not easy at all. And I can see your point about Hamilton. When I listen to it, I think of Lin Manuel Miranda and how crazy smart he is and how tirelessly he worked to create such an exciting musical. It inspires me and so I keep listening to it. For some reason his musical gives me hope. And like I said, its not easy to accept Trump as President, but that's our reality. Its a strange time, for sure.
