I watched 1776, the musical, with Michael and Nomi again yesterday. There's a scene towards the end, after they've finished calling the roll on the independence vote, and suddenly it's over and it's passed, and John Hancock sits there a moment with a perfect gutpunched expression on his face. It's over, and he's won, and what the fuck have they just done?
Yeah. I'm with you, buddy.
(The movie is actually quite good, but would be better if it was shorter.)
