Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
I see fireworks! I see the pagaent and
Pomp and parade
I hear the bells ringing out
I hear the cannons roar
I see Americans - all Americans
Free forever more
How quiet, how quiet the chamber is
How silent, how silent the chamber is
Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
- John Adams (1776)
This film is on TCM tonight at 11 (EST). The DVD has a good commentary track. I also saw a revival of the play some years back. Enjoyable too.
