I love the musical 1776! It's sooooooooooo fun! It allows us to see a a funny side of historical figures. Not that it's all true, but it does have Mr. Feeney in it from Boy Meets World! He's so young, it's scary!You see... America doesnt have heros like King Arthur or any Greek/Roman characters who have been either made up or terribly exaggerated. Our heros did strive for independence and freedom. Not that every decision they made was right. It seems like we don't have heros anymore in the US, or anywhere else, for that matter. It's kinda sad really. We used to have great people to make great speeches and do great deeds, but, not anymore. Now we have celebs who like to show off how much money they have by what they wear or what their houses look like on "cribs." What happened to an honest person who worked hard and could be proud of his or her accomplishments just because they worked hard to achieve them instead of playing dumb on tv for attention or making a fool of themselves at an awards show. And now, I hear there is a play where Jesus and his disciples are portrayed as homosexuals. Man, I sound like an old person. "Back in my day..." Lord, please help us!
John Adams:
Jefferson, are y'finished?
*There is no answer.
You've had a whole week, man. Is it done? Can I see it?
*Jefferson points to all the crumpled paper on the floor. John picks up one at random and, flattening it out, reads it.
John:
"There comes a time in the lives of men when it becomes necessary to advance from the subordination in which they have hitherto remained-" this is terrible. (Looking up)Where's the rest of it?
*Again Jefferson points to the floor.
Do you mean to say it's not finished?
Jefferson:
No, sir- I mean to say it's not begun.
John:
Good God! A whole week! The entire earth was created in a week!
Jefferson,fed up turning to John:
Some day you must tell me how you did it.
