What I wanted and anticipated to get from this broadway show:

Great music by the ex-Talking Heads frontman and modern music icon David Byrne and his team of instrumentalists and musicians. Check. Thanks Mr. Byrne for your great music.

Great broadway performance, choreography and a mindful, rich way to bring them to the silver screen. Also check. Thanks Mr. Spike Lee and everyone else involved with this project.

What I did NOT want or care to see nor to hear but I got them anyway:

A set of really insightful, caring and heartfelt messages totally and completely unheard about human rights, immigrant rights, climate change and global warming stuff, go vote!, trump hate (yeah let's hate that dude real hard, it's cool) and the list goes on. It's not that these messages are untrue or mischievous, but after listening to them so many times anywhere and everywhere, I've grown somewhat allergic to them.

In any case, the film is solid, go drop a watch and nevermind me, I'm just ranting.
