I like musicals. They remind me of my mother. A real staple indercurrent of my life. A musical on in the living room to take her away from the daily grind and the problems of the world and into a world of escape and dream where goodness prevails and good tunes are all that matter.
But also wonderful narratives amd turbulence to fix on and ponder. A truly great musical like South Pacific tells you that nothing ever really changes. That the battlefield locations for love and war might shift but the underlying essentials of the struggle are fixed and immutable..
