I skimmed your blog. I love your enthusiasm for HAMILTON I only have one minor quibble, don't refer to HAMILTON'S cast recording as a soundtrack. The term 'soundtrack' is used for a recording of a score or music from a motion picture. A 'cast recording' is the correct term, as HAMILTON is a stage musical and it's a recording of the show's cast.

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for this great show and I really do hope you get the chance to finally see it!

Renée Elise Goldsberry referred to it as the "soundtrack" after the host did on CBS's coverage of the Thanksgiving parade. The battle has been lost.

That is sad. If that's true if a Broadway performer is incapable of using the correct term then yes I guess the battle has indeed been lost - - - ignorance prevails.

Dude, don't walk that many miles. Take a bus or wait for the bootleg. Hamilton is a fine show but it aint worth walking that many miles.

She might not have wanted to correct the host. Or maybe it's a case of not wanting to sweat the small stuff.

After all, according to iTunes, it's a soundtrack.

And if tomorrow iTunes relabels it an R&B album is that what it is?

Record stores have always called them soundtracks, too. But really, movie soundtracks aren't soundtracks either, they're music tracks. So it's a misnomer no matter what. But it's also a word everyone understands no matter how inaccurate it is, so maybe it's time to let it go.

Oh contrayer! The graceful tact displayed by a gloriously reverent being is considered a quiet victory. In other words, Goldsberry always wins. Always.

Amen.

Why walk? Why not just hop on a plane or bus? It's a Broadway show (albeit a really good one), not the second coming.

I live in Michigan and would never walk to New York...let alone from LA, holy crap that's a long way. Michael, do you know how wide the continent is???

I live in Pennsylvania and would never walk to NYC or even Philly to see anything. Like someone said it's just a show and not the second coming.

By the time he gets there, Hamilton will be closed.

*Ducks and covers for Hogan's Hero coming on this thread denying that Hamilton will ever close*

Because nobody would notice you.

I never even walk across my own city to see a show. Mad props though.

Take a bus or wait for the bootleg.

True Lin-Manuel Miranda fans have nothing to do with bootlegs.

Obviously few read his blog....he's not actually going to walk to NY, he's just blathering about his desire to see the show.

Additionally, he obviously is either 1 looking for more hits to his blog, or 2 hoping that LMM will see this and send him free tix. (As evidenced by the lack of return to this thread...or any other (as far as I can tell.)

Lord, what a "look at me" society we live in.

I read the blog entry but he didn't really specify whether of not he would actually be walking to NYC or not. But I agree with you, he may be hoping for free tickets (which I think Lin-Manuel mentioned even he couldn't get free tickets or some such nonsense).

It's just a term that the person used. Like saying about a television placement. "Where does the set go?"

Some say flat screen or television. Give him a break, he is walking here to see a sold out show. Or is he hoping someone will give him a ticket and a plane ride?

He's not walking anywhere. He's looking for attention. And maybe a handout.

This whole classification discussion has spun me into an existential quandary.

It's on the rap charts, so is it a rap album?

One of the stars called it a soundtrack, so what does that mean?

And when my dad heard it he said "I don't like popular music, but this is really amazing". Popular music.

My entire life and all I believe in has been turned upside down and all I can do is stare into the abyss of uncertainty.

....but the world goes 'round
