No to Meredeth Wilson's The Music Man

[Johny Joe Hold]

I attended a planning meeting at Freehold High School yesterday. The topic was to decide the stage presentations for next school year. A well-meaning staff member said, "How about The Music Man? It was written by an Iowan from Mason City about Iowa."

I was so angry I had to take a few breaths before I replied. The Music Man is a musical that belittles what we believe in Freehold and Landover Baptist Church. "Don't you realize Wilson made fun of sin in The Music Man?" I asked. "Don't you realize he makes sin something to laugh about?"

When I had settled down a bit I went through the lyrics of one song. It refers to "morals after school" and "the Devil" as if they are a joke. It speaks of moving from small sins to huge sins as if doing that would be hilarious.

The nice staff member apologized, and the meeting went on to consider more wholesome musicals.

The Music Man?! Isn't that a ywood movie about a brazen, gold-digging hussy who tried to weasel her way into some old cadaver's gentleman's fortune? The following video clip seems to confirm that, so I am so glad that you have spoken so steadfastly against having a stage production of this sin-filled atrocity at the school for next year. Certainly, as one can see here from the video, there are other fine, upstanding individuals who are quick to protest against the production for when it was in their city, too. May the be praised for their courage, and for your fine example, dear Brother Mayor Hold!

Can the administrators please do something about the brazenness depicted throughout "certain video clips" posted here, in an entertainment thread.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for noting that, Sister Mitza. I hope someday we True Christians will have the political power to pass laws against all parody of Christianity. The consequences of people's sins are eternities in hell. That is nothing to laugh about.
