You know this one. It’s a Broadway play filmed for Disney+ (don’t sue me Disney+). Okay fine, if you don’t know it - it’s a fictional account of the life of Alexander Hamilton, father of the American economic system, and to a lesser extent about his wife, Eliza. Some people argue that she’s the real protagonist, but for the sake of this blog, I’m sticking to Hamilton.
Why am I writing a blog about a founding father rap musical by Lin Manuel Miranda? Because Hamilton always wrote “like he was running out of time”. Duh.
I’m keeping this short, but what I want to point out is how the play makes a point of showing how prolific Hamilton was. How he wrote everything down and, when he was passionate about a topic, he wrote until he ran out of ink. The play even shows how this habit cut into his personal life with his family and how it led to his downfall as a politician. He needed more balance which he only finds about several tragedies.
That was pretty much all I had to say except that I’ve had “My Shot” stuck in my head for days now. At least it finally go the Bruno song out of there.
