One of my colleagues and I were having a discussion about...well, I don't remember entirely, but it was about a topless doughnut shop in Portland, Maine. It doesn't exist any more. Well, that evolved into a discussion about Americans being uncomfortable with sex but not violence. At some point, my colleague quoted a line from the musical 1776 basically saying, "We're not all from Boston", that is - we don't aren't all so liberated.
As it happens, I've never seen 1776, but I'm compelled now to rent it. Back during my satellite radio years, though, I got familiar with the songs, and for the rest of that day, "He Plays The Violin" was on endless loop in my brain.
Cut to a few days later, I landed in Philadelphia. Where, of course, it is set. And I couldn't stop thinking of the line "It's hot as hell in Phila-DEL-phia."
So I downloaded both songs, plus, "But, Mr. Adams!"
I think it's time to share:
I love this. I love that at 41, he still has his virilty. And he can romp through Cupid's Grove with great agility.
But life is more than sexual combustibility.
Just listen.
