I’ve always loved the message behind this show. The idea of the universe finally changing around so that the underdog’s ship finally comes in, is something that I can appreciate. I have been the underdog in my life, quite a bit. In circumstances that were beyond my control. I have been treated poorly by those who ae supposed to be your advocates, like Ella has, and I have wanted to change the world, to shake the people who were in charge of change, and make them wake up, like Jean Michele. I have had Marie’s in my life, who have been surprising guardian angels who remind me that making things better, and making them change is within my power, and most importantly will not change if I don’t. And I am grateful for all of them. This is a valentine, and a thank you to all of those people, and it is a dedication to all the daft, and dewey-eyed dopes, who keep dreaming impossible dreams and hopes. Never stop dreaming, even if it doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere. Never stop trying, even if you’re being told no. IMPOSSIBLE THINGS ARE HAPPENING EVERYDAY, and THERE IS MUSIC IN YOU! Enjoy the show!
