Kevin really loves "Can You Hear The People Sing?" (This isn't really any surprise -- his other favorite show tunes are "Man of La Mancha" and "The Impossible Dream.") This morning he kept asking for me to play it for him.
He also kept asking what it was about, and about the French revolution (and I had to explain that this was not about the French revolution that everyone talks about, which happened in 1789, but a different one in 1848). Then he paused, and thoughtfully said....
"You know, this could apply to our country, as well."
Yesss.
Just as well he likes it so much, because then he doesn't ask why I skip past the prior song on my latest Broadway Mix CD. Which just happens to be "La Vie Boheme." I tell him it has bad words in it, but it's really because I really don't want to have to explain what a dildo is to a nine-year-old.
