One of the things I really appreciated about the Obama's was how they embraced the Arts.

I had no idea who this Miranda dude was, but I loved his history-based music. Even though I don't, or didn't, like rap or hip-hop.

The Miranda dude changed my mind. I bought the album. I bought the book (Hamilton: The Revolution by LMM, as well as Chernow's biography).

I can sing most of the musical by heart!
