Evita was the one thing Andrew Lloyd Webber did right in his career. You have good taste. (Well, I exaggerate a little. Sunset Boulevard was good. And it's not like I HATE Phantom, I just don't get why everyone loves it so much...) And yes, remarkably clever. I became obsessed with it when I was...I dunno, 14? A couple of years before the movie came out. It's amazing to look back on it and realize how much there is that I couldn't appreciate then.
I do understand that Obama was like "yeah, I'll fix everything EVER," but at the same time...did people really expect it to happen? Not that I don't get pissed off when politicians don't do what they said they would, either flat-out NOT doing it or just never seeming to make the huge change they intended, but...they're politicians. They make huge promises they can't or won't keep. Don't we kind of know that going in?

I did believe all the gay equality stuff, though.
