New Trump Anthem?

Post by Big RR »

I was listentng to the cast recording of the Broadway hit Hadestown (won the Tony for best musical last year) over the weekend and came across this song:

(Sorry for the ads, but you can skip them)

to set the stage, Hadestwon is a retelling of the Orpehus and Euridice myth, and this song is set in Hell, where the ruler, Hades, keeps people as slaves to continually build a bigger and bigger wall around it. I thought it would make a good anthem fro Trump, especailly since I'd bet many of his minions wouldn't get the satire (kind of like the people who watched All in the Family and thought Archie was always right). In any event, I had to say I enjoyed it.

Yes, you can't listen to this without thinking of our Orange Mussolini's madness. Very appropriate.

Fun fact: Hadestown debuted in 2006 during Dubya's time in office. "The Wall" was not yet a thing.

Thanks
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
