Reading a review of a new play today, I'm reminded of another, not a play, but a person: Norman Lear, who died this week at 101. He was the force behind many of the sitcoms of my high school years, and so, a part of my past.
The most important being All in the Family, a show with a father as a bigot who had a daughter married to a hippie, or, in today's terms, a progressive, and a wife who was a dingbat, as he called her (or a woman who has learned to keep her wits about her even while with a husband who constantly espouses nonsense). The show used humor to work at changing the norms of the day. If we could see the absurdity, we could change, and with that, life could also.
From what we see, what we watch, what we listen to, what we read, we learn.
The review said the same.
Art Matters
