Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again. ---- from Les Miserables
I've been sitting here since seven this evening watching a PBS presentation of a 25th anniversary production of 'Les Miserables'. It has been so enjoyable I decided to buy a ticket to the Fisher Theater production in a few weeks.
So, I'm listening to the lyrics. Not singing along as I am wont to do, but really listening. And I hear the above lyric and think, 'Oh my. Sounds like something they should sing in Wisconsin. Or maybe soon in Lansing.'
So, while I am online to find tickets I google 'Les Miz' and find that apparently the folks in Wisconsin have already decided that this is a good song for their cause. See for yourself. And notice the youthful faces. Reminds me of my youth and makes me want to make a picket sign.
