There was a Lincoln Rock Opera called "In Spite of Reason." I have the cd and cant even listen to it it's so bad.

"Not that being with a 13 year old isn't rape anyway"

Well, back then was different than today. Girls were getting married at 13. I am not saying it wasn't rape, but the age has nothing to with it.

Ok, folks . . . carry on.

Teddy Roosevelt for sure.

I want to say Franklin Pierce too, but I'm not sure if it's because I'm fascinated by his little boy getting decapitated in front of him in a train wreck during the campaign.

Wasn't Franklin Pierce considered quite the hottie in his time?

Truman does have the solo show GIVE EM HELL HARRY! which was a hit starring James Whitmore. And there are a few Nixon plays including the current FROST/NIXON (running at the Donmar in London and coming to Broadway in the Spring) and NIXON'S NIXON currently running at the Lucille Lortel by MCC Theatre.

US Grant is the main character in Guare's A FEW STOUT INDIVIDUALS. Lincoln has a few plays including the Pulitzer winning ABE LINCOLN IN ILLINOIS.

On Matt Bogart's "Simple Song" recording he sings a song called "New America" from JFK. What is the history of this show?
