Now America is embracing musicals, the ultimate in useless, mindless entertainment. Musicals don't do anything other than keep a mind from thinking about real subjects for a while. Put straight, musicals are meant to entertain you, plays are meant to make you think. Bigthink Sat, 24 May 2008 01:47:36 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/arts-culture/theater-film/2121/#18430
