I love the musical Hairspray. For multiple reasons, it has felt kind of defining this year for my quest at a new life which yes, includes my gayness....
I love the upbeat message, the push for integration, the love of the outcast, etc. I had never seen it until last fall when I was motivated for multiple reasons to go on a date and see it, then I took my father, then I watched it this weekend on another date. Wow....
Life's good. Never without challenges, but good. Thanks to my friends and family for their love, compassion and concern. I always have friends to call, people to text, and it sure helps.
Ditto. I have been known to listen to "Don't Stop the Beat" on my iPod while doing house chores... and ... dance around a bit. But, shhh, don't tell anyone. :)
ReplyDeleteDer... I mean "You Can't Stop the Beat" :)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm more than curious to watch the original (I really like the latest version and James Marden's yumminess may or may not have something to do with it--just sayin'). It was nice to see you over the weekend--and watch your smile! :-)

My favorite song is "I Know Where I’ve Been" sung during the march by Motormouth Maybelle. But "I Can Hear the Bells" is fun
ReplyDeleteThis is a family favorite in our house... We must have watched it about a half a dozen times as a family. When Glen was feeling a little down, he'd suggest we watch Hairspray!
ReplyDeleteOne of my personal favorites is "(You're) Timeless to Me," that wonderful love song between John Travolta and Christopher Walken.
Maybe I'll listen to the soundtrack now... Thanks for the idea!
