I put this on this morning and the tears snuck up on me. Yeah it's a "love song", but it's also a song about loving singing together. Feels like it fits. This one goes out for you Freyjahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi5A9OCAyIk …

That—was so incredible. I’m crying too. Their love for Emmylou and getting to perform it for her was so palpable.

When I was a kid I used to say I liked all music except for country and rap—and today all I’ve listened to is country and
@Malcolm_Ocean’s rap. And I love both.3 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

You can do better than a Trump musical - a Neronic tragicomic farce If you want to work in the Hamilton vein, do what Miranda *should* have done: the Toussaint L'Ouverture musical. Les Misérables but with a slave revolt that took over half of Hispaniolahttps://twitter.com/Timber_22/status/1188102518393327621?s=20 …

Crooked Timbre @Timber_22Replying to @Timber_22 @collinofzionHe pivots off there, develops a radically inclusive world-centric consciousness, and instead of merely releasing a Green album, he writes a Lin Miranda style musical about Toussaint L’Ouverture that blows everybody’s fucking minds and renders Hamilton an embarassment2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes -

the idea is *right there*. I honestly think Miranda wasted a lot of time and talent adapting a friggin' Ron Chernow biography. Got a lot of play pushing everyone's America buttons, cashed in on a lot of Obama-era shallowness.

The whole time Miranda had source material for something way more important, more artistically complex and more epic in scale, more true to history and what actually happened (and less risible.) Missed opportunity.

that assumes you know what he's got in store for us...

Nah. The moment is passed. He had this window at the end of the Obama era to do it. And right now isn't looking like a good time for a Broadway musical production. And Toussaint would be a *kick-ass* stage musical.
