Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson

Mike and I enjoyed a rare evening out tonight for the premiere of "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" at the Kirk Douglas Theater. A rock musical based on the life of, you guessed it, the seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson, the play was our favorite of the season so far. The parallels with today's political era were striking. We could imagine the play's anthem, "Populism, Yea, Yea," being played out on the campaign trail. This evening was made possible by the generous support of our friends, Anna and Damien, in whose capable hands we left Spencer.
