We as a society don’t talk about this enough
#A 13 minute medley of some of the biggest hits of her fucking career?#all prefaced by the song she thought was going to be a hit#only for the B SIDE TO SHOOT HER TO FAME!!!!#I love Helen reddy so fucking much#also the I am woman biopic was really good and if I don’t get a stage adaptation of it I’m going to riot#rocketman too but that’s a rant for another time#I want rocketman and I am woman to become as ubiquitous to touring theatre as Jersey boys#but I know that’ll probably never happen because one is gay and the other’s a woman#so we just get fucking buddy holly#I have a lot of very intense opinions on bio musicals#because some of them. are just bad.#the Buddy Holly story is my arch nemesis#black musicians I’m sorry buddy Holly stole his career from you#and that the narrative framing of the Buddy Holly story completely glosses over that and acts like it was fine#i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again#the best musical number in the buddy Holly story is fucking la bamba#a Ritchie valens bio musical was in the works in December 2019 but I think the pandemic killed it#I want to learn more about the Mexican American rock star we lost when he was just getting started the fuck#ugh#I think this is why I have the job I do#because I think nonstop about how theatre is the perfect tool to critically engage with history#hey this might be the tangent of all time but I stand by it#Youtube
