Wow! The fur is flying, over the hill and far away!

I've never seen such language, such implausible arguments and unsupported, purported "facts" in my life. Now granted, I am rather young, but really!

I click, read in amazement, then hit the back arrow. There is no other way to deal with a population that is having a nervous breakdown online. It's painful to watch.

I think I'll just post one of my favorite Broadway tunes to cheer us all up:

1. I sure can find better things to do

with my time than deal with what I am seeing here. It used to make me laugh, then it was getting just painful and now it is just nonsense. Complete nonsense. It is uncomfortable to read. It was better when it made me angry. Now it just makes me sad to see how low we have become. I believe the phrase, "this is why we can't have nice things" applies here.

Love the show tunes and if I felt better about any of this I would post one my own. Thank you!

2. For you, an encore!

[MuseRider]

3. Cool!

OK one for you! Nathan Gunn (be still my heart) stealing all the air from the room.

*I am ticking off another of my bucket list items, I have tickets to see this incredible man in a few months.

Thank you, I feel better already.

4. I saw Leonard Nimoy as Arthur in MA (I was a child)

It's an incredible story. And the music! I'm swooning at the thought.

5. That is awesome!

I would have loved to have seen that! You are very lucky, wow.

I saw Camelot this summer but the production was not good at all. I also saw several others that were excellent though. It was the summer I got to drag my husband to 5 musicals! This year will be none Oh well, it was a grand summer.

Here is the one and only show I have ever seen on Broadway, original cast even. It was excellent and I think it sums up our feelings now and then in life as well as in elections however this does not apply to the Bernie Sanders campaign.

NSFW or with little kids around.

11. Original Camelot w/ Richard Burton & Julie Andrews

My older brother & his wife saw it on Broadway.

Also in the cast: Roddy McDowell and Robert Goulet.

I have the original LP album.

The rapture! And then the fall. Contrast King Arthur's/Richard Burton's uplifting version of the "Camelot" song with his Finale Ultimo (Camelot Reprise)
So there you are, cruising along, with the CD cranked up, reveling, and the last song comes on. Unless you are in a particularly buoyant mood, that last song can produce a profound wave of melancholy and the people next to you at the stop light will wonder why you are crying.
"... Ask every person if he's heard the story
& tell it strong & clear if he has not -
That once there was a fleeting wisp of Glory
called Camelot.
... Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment
That was known as Camelot."
Goosepimple stuff.

6. Because I did not say it the first time
