. . .ramblings of a red-headed stepchild!!
Ok, I know this may seem a bit cheesy, but it's the middle of a blizzard here in NYC and I'm feeling a bit sentimental (maybe a residual effect of cabin fever).
I've learned a lot about love over the last couple weeks. Carl bought me tickets for THE COLOR PURPLE: THE MUSICAL for my birthday, so last Thursday, I went to see the show (alone since Carl is a little busy in Switzerland
).
The show took my breath away!! I left the show uplifted and inspired.
In high-school and college, the movie version of THE COLOR PURPLE had already amazed and enlightened me. I'd seen the movie countless times and to this day revere it as my 'all-time favorite' movie. I never expected the broadway musical version to stand up to its cinematic and literary predecessors. However, I was wrong - A good story is a good story!! I was moved many times during the show and to try to give you a play by play account would do a disservice to the show.
HOWEVER, because its Valentines Day, I wanted to share this particular song with you. 'WHAT ABOUT LOVE' is the song that Ceely and Shug Avery sing after a sudden unexpected kiss (click the link to hear the song)

Love knows NO boudaries!!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
