He was born in the US, but Irish Stepdancing is certainly less “typically and traditionally American” than Hip-Hop as a genre!

The only group I recognize on that list is The Piano Guys because my mom is a fan. She’s a Trump supporter so...yay for her?

Same. I don’t think they belong grouped with 3 Doors Down, Creed, and Nickleback. Maybe they meant Hoobastank.

That sucks. I’m sorry.

Same! Bush vs Kerry was also my first election. Kerry bored me to tears, but Bush was an embarrassment and led us into wars looking for imaginary WMDs. At the time, I figured that was how it would always be - choosing between two politicians that I didn’t particularly care about, with one being varying degrees worse…

I just showed this trick to my husband last weekend. He has been making shitty grilled cheese sandwiches with DRY bread for 38 years. I make perfect golden brown grilled cheese sandwiches with the mayo trick.

For me the song that roped me in and didn’t let me go was “Wait For It.” The way it starts quiet, then builds, and the powerful end with Leslie Odum Jr.’s beautiful voice. ::sigh::

I am a HUGE fan of Rep. Duckworth and I wish I could vote for her in this election (but I don’t live in Illinois). But is she eligible to run for President? She was born in Thailand. Granted, her father is an American citizen, so it may be that she is a natural born citizen anyway. I guess I’m confused as to what…

Not wrong at all, but I would recommend listening to the cast recording because it is so dense. The amount of clever and brilliant lyrics is astounding. I don’t think I would be able to absorb everything if I watched the show first before I heard the songs a billion times. I haven’t seen it (crosses fingers I get…

I have a huge crush on Leslie Odum Jr, but damn Christopher Jackson...he is yummy too.

I listened to the Hamilton podcast “The Room Where It’s Happening” this morning. The host interviewed the doc director Alex Horwitz and asked him basically the same question. Horwitz explained that he and Miranda have been friends since freshman year of college. He watched him create “In the Heights” and achieve…

Thanks for the idea. Just ordered two $50 Whole Foods cards from Amazon for Dr Hern’s patients.

It. Was. So. Good. You have to be okay with record breaking levels of whimsy and twee-ness though. But don’t let that deter you from seeking it out though. Fantastic show!

But, state and local elections are not as glamorous and flashy as the Presidential election! They take, you know, thankless work.

Exactly. Lower voter turnout always favors the Republicans, hence the voter suppression tactics.

I’d like the police to explain why they approached Mr. Crutches like a crime suspect in the first place. Why did they automatically get defensive when it was obvious his car had stalled. I know if it had been me, a youngish Asian woman on the road with a disabled car, I would have been treated with a lot more sympathy…

I bet Piney had something to do with this.

Yes. Same. I also heard rumors of the loss of the aux jack and was hoping it wouldn't be true. I also listen to my audio in the car on my 3 hour round trip commute and it is unacceptable to me that I wouldn't be able to charge and listen to podcasts/Hamilton soundtrack/audio books etc at the same time. My current…

What? Temecula and Rancho Cucamonga are both nice. They are by no means as rural or run down as the high desert.

Uh...Vietnamese as an example why it’s “crazy dangerous”? Nice blanket statement.
