My grandmother was born and raised in Purcell. She was 19 on the day Oklahoma became a state and the then state capital, Purcell, celebrated. She always thought that the musical was written about her. Except for the dark and naughty bits.
I love it. A liberal Democrat defending Fauxchohantus, saying that it doesn’t matter if she’s really Cherokee or not. It matters that she BELIEVED she was and that belief shaped her character.
Lying about practicing without a law license excluded, of course.
The fact that my bank doesn’t show that million dollars in my account only makes it more real.
Oklahoma does convey what an exciting time that must have been, such a feeling of potential.
