If it was after 1986, you have a good case. If not...geez...and you didn't think to give *me* you ticket?? ;-) Btw, Broadway musicals. I say to each is/her own. Some excellent music has originated on Broadway.
FWIW, my 5th Grade teacher forced us all to see one on a field trip, no doubt trying to inject some culture into or young lives. (Good intentions. Just didn't work :-(...lol)
Basically, my interest in music, aside from opera (and that mostly limited to Wagner & Mozart), is the American Songbook.
Yes, it was sometime in the 90s. I loathe Springsteen music. The New York Times is drooling over “his brilliant” autobiography today. Just like I had to put up with them drooling over Patti Smith.
