I decided I'm just going to listen to @HamiltonMusical during the time that I might otherwise have gone to see @Stonewall_Movie.

@chrisgeidner it's a little unsettling to hear hip hop glamorizing the era. Hamilton was better than most... but that doesn't take much. -
@SnarkySmarty It's not "glamorizing the era," by any means. It is aggressively skewering the era, while also lifting up its greatest hopes. -
@chrisgeidner I hope so. I'm still early in the listen. Totally plausible it's just cognitive dissonance with traditional history education. -
@SnarkySmarty Listen away. Also: You need to see it to get the whole thing. -
@chrisgeidner Fair enough. I'm in Chicago, so it may be a bit, but I'll certainly say that the soundtrack is pretty amazing thus far.

@chrisgeidner@SnarkySmarty I'm trying to fight my worry that Hamilton is well-casted, well-written, but a bit overhyped -
@Distantsunfun@SnarkySmarty You have nothing to fear. It is tremendously underhyped. I have seen it. -
@chrisgeidner I trust both your legal and musical choice recommendations. Michael Riedel...
