You’ve listened to Hamilton a hundred times already, right? (*Warren’s note: Alice
thinks everyone is as obsessed with Hamilton: An American Musical as she is. For
those who have never heard of it, it’s a new Broadway musical based on the life of
Alexander Hamilton, using hip-hop and R&B to tell the story.)
Okay, okay, I’m on this Hamilton bandwagon hard right now, but trust me–
everyone is so into Hamilton because it’s so amazing. If you haven’t listened, do so
right now! I can’t think of anything better to pump you up as you work to improve
our country.
But first, watch this throwback video of Lin Manuel Miranda, the creator
of Hamilton, performing the opening number at a White House Poetry Jam
in 2009. He’s so great and Obama’s so into it: it’ll warm your heart.
