If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.
Everyone needs to read James Baldwin.
Classics are usually a hit or miss for me, and this was a fucking HIT. Wow.

I’m listening / to these men who aren't quite men yet / but aren't boys / make noise / and throw their knives / their toys are people's lives
This musical is perfect in every aspect. Each lyric and detail is incredibly meaningful. All of the characters are written so well, and I love their development. This is a devastatingly beautiful show, and William Finn does a wonderful job of making you feel all the emotions. I really could talk about this musical forever, thank you William Finn for this work of art.
