No matter how much you try, no matter how many liberties were taken in that musical – it cannot be severed from real history. It simply cannot. If you truly think you can separate the two you are, at best delusional, and at worst excusing yourself from the responsibility of reckoning with the reality of these historical figures so you can have fun with your friends writing and drawing smut. I am sorry but that is just the way it is. If you are eschewing that responsibility and waving your ignorance around like a badge of honor I am going to take issue with that.

The Smoker, the Drummer of the Jersey Blues, oil on panel, 1900, by Theophile Marie Francois Lybaert (1848–1927).

Not an accurate depiction by any means, but I resonate with him. Sometimes all that drumming will wear you out.

Couche at 1. Much * * * * ¹ when afoot. Rose at 7. After breakfast walked to the landing; found two sloops going to Stockholm on Monday. Price for a passage, 16 sch. banco, the distance being by water about sixty miles. Yesterday called on the Haradshofding. Met him going out. He promised to call on me at 11, which he did not do. A slight rain. Called on the Director Afzelius; out. Read law two hours. My young student called; fine youth. At 12 the Director came; brings me letter from Hosack with news from the United States of the continuation of the non-intercourse, &c. An American ship arrived at Stockholm. Story of the young Dalecarlian² who having by accident shot his wife, immediately shot himself. Of Adjutant-General Cardell who, when Gustavus IV. was shipwrecked in 1807 on Rügen, saved the Queen and an officer by swimming with them both. The King on first meeting on shore: “Sir, where is your staff?” The General was confined in prison eight days for appearing before the King without his staff of office. The King was an eye-witness to the saving of the Queen. The details of the revolution of March last, by A.E.A. Took a sort of supper; ale, sugar-water and skolpen.³ The ale of this country is excellent; 6 sch. Rixelt le bouteille.⁴

No media about the American Revolution? The war the U.S. puts on a pedestal to this day and uses as nationalist propaganda and is treated like a biblical event ? That war? Is Google broken for you? A simple search brings up multiple lists of films and series on this topic.

Why are people on this website obsessed with making themselves look as helpless and ignorant as possible?

It is absolutely crazy to me that musical fans on here just openly say things like this with seemingly no awareness of how ignorant it makes them look. Like it’s funny or quirky and not mind-bogglingly stupid.
