My Independence Day Ritual
Every year about this time, I like to rewatch one of the finest examples of musical theater ever, namely:
1776
It's suspenseful (even though you know how it ends), moving, FUNNY, happy, sad, makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up and best of all -- historically accurate! I once aced a midterm in American History I thanks to knowing this musical by heart.
It's still done by local theater groups, so you can see it live. But nothing beats the movie version, which is on tonight on TCM. Or, check out this link on the U Toob:
It's great to watch any time of year.
