Hour long talk by Mark Steyn at Hillsdale on music & the Great American Songbook.

My parents really enjoyed theater of all kinds, especially musical theater. I grew up with show tunes playing all the time and I really like them. And it really annoys me that musical theater is almost totally a homosexual pastime now. My wife kids me that no one listens to show tunes excepts the gays. It used to be a fine part of our culture.

Between "My Fair Lady" and "The Sound of Music," my heart was full as a lad. At the time, I was going to a convent/school in an old mansion every bit as ritzy as the house of Baron von Trapp, having had my life ripped apart by my parents' divorce. Loved Julie Andrews as the embodiment of love for children I'd seldom had.

And those flowers at the opening of "My Fair Lady" just blew me away on the big screen at the Cinerama in San Francisco!! And Audrey Hepburn... I've never seen a more beautiful woman encompassing both physical proportion and graciousness, with that heap of Chelsea comedy.

Can we please see movies like that again? I know it's hard, but wasn't it worth it?

I have custody of my 14-yo granddaughter and she LOVES musicals. I take her every chance I get.
We saw the Tina Turner musical in December, and it will be the standard by which I judge all future musicals.
