Holy ****

Holy **** is right. Kid's a psycho.

"Brayden, who said he knew the gun was loaded, told cops he put the weapon back in the couch console after shooting his brother as he watched videos on his cellphone on a couch, Polcha said."

So he keeps LOADED guns in an unlocked couch console....with a 13yr and 9yr old in the house...and that's responsible?

Do I really have to point out that I was being sarcastic?

Especially when it sounds like the 13yr old is short bus...

Lukewarm take:

Hamilton is millennial Rent. There's already political backlash to Hamilton, but in 10-15 years, it's going to be looked at as cringey and appropriative just like Rent is today.

Pretty much everything from this article about Rent applies to Hamilton, especially this quote from another article:

Great rock musicians spend years finding their sound, but most rock musical theater composers sound like they are composing inside a bubble, without ever having played in rock bands or spent any time immersed in the music they are imitating.​

The modern Broadway sound is "clean, antiseptic, highly produced, and devoid of rawness," which is totally at odds with hip hop, R&B, and rock. LMM is a Broadway composer who came up through the musical theater pipeline.

Anyway, this post is probably too earnest for this threak. The point is, I don't get Hamilton.

Yeah, but he is more than that. Rap battles and hip hop improv isnt exactly your normal run through musical theater.
