That life was more like a musical sometimes? Imagine you’re being yelled at by your boss, spouse or pimple-faced guy at the local fast food restaurant. Suddenly, the spot light hits you everything else around you goes black and from your lips comes a doleful tune about life and loss and how everything could be different.

Maybe you’re the happy sort that would prefer a big song and dance number with the whole cast belting out in perfect harmony at the top of their lungs about good times and how warm and beautiful the sun is and how it compares to life.

In either case, I personally would be very entertained most of the day if people just spontaneously burst into song. I would clap and cheer or cry and sympathize with the singer just because I think life would be a much more interesting thing with music and dance numbers.

Not that I can sing or dance mind you. In fact I would probably cause people to leave the studio mid aria and they would be muttering curses under their breaths about how they wasted their money or time and they would be very grumpy.

I guess the whole point of this is that Cyndi and I just watched Chicago and we found it quite entertaining. I wish I could recall the names of some of the better musicals I’ve seen but most of them are just fond but dim memories in my aging mind.

Although one musical that sticks out in my mind as being one of my old favorites is Bugsy Malone a bunch of kids acting like gangsters with Scott Baio in the lead no less!

Now that I think about it some more I even have the original cast recording of Miss Saigon. Another one of my favorites. You just can’t go wrong with beautiful voices singing beautiful songs. Songs about cheap vc whores and horny marines… Ahh the beauty of the stage!

“The Heat is on in Saigon”

AMERICANS:
The heat is on in Saigon
The girls are hotter ‘n’ hell
One of these slits here will be Miss Saigon
God, the tension is high, not to mention the smell

-v- out.
