It's a little surprising for El Viejo Hombre Malhumorado , but I understand. I had always considered musicals to be corny with too much faggy dancing. Then I had a girlfriend in the 80's who was a music major and possessed every musical that ever made it to VHS. I saw a lot of them and some traveling productions, too. Many of them were faggy dancing cornpone, of course. But it turns out that there are some musicals that are manly enough to appreciate. Guys and Dolls is about street gamblers betting on getting into the pants of a Salvation Army babe with big hooters. Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando do no faggy dancing. Paint Your Wagon is about a mining camp without women that steals whores from another town and practices polygamy. Eastwood and Lee Marvin do no faggy dancing, nor can they sing worth a damn and still they manage to pull it off. The whores and polygamous wife all have big hooters. South Pacific is about sailors on secret missions, slinky native girls, and nurses with big hooters all of whom are getting into each other pants. The women do the faggy dancing. A Hard Day's Night is a rock musical with more heavily-hootered teenage groupies than you can shake a Hofner bass at and it spawned the rock video industry. No faggy dancing. Man of La Mancha is about a lunatic upon an insane quest that charms a jaded whore with big hooters. And no faggy dancing, . . . as faggy as Peter O'Toole usually is. My Fair Lady is about a middle-aged bachelor professor who charms a street girl with big hooters away from a faggy young suitor by treating her scandalously and spending a lot of money on her. I really like that one.
this thread basically is where we tell how old we are. i think my first album was public enemy, "it takes a nation of millions to hold us back". "why do you want black protest music?" - martin's mom, 1988 speaking of musicals, i am going to a broadway musical monday night, "rock of ages". i dont want to go, but yunno how ladies are. hi five, i am there right now. i cant see this happening to me.
If we are going the route of musicals, the Music Man is my all time favorite. Watched it in the theater 7 times when it first debuted. Opie and I are the same age. :shock:
Me too. And I was a precocious redheaded kid, as well. But Shirley Jones is why I like that movie. Librarians have never been hotter.
