Deep thoughts in a cheeky performance

If you're a conservative Trump fan, you might want to pass on this one. I'm not so I really enjoyed it.

In my own home I've had arguments with my mother who, though a Democrat, sees immigrants as threats. Not all immigrants, mostly the little brown people coming over the Mexican border. Her argument is that our ancestors assimilated. My argument is that it's hard for people with dark tans to assimilate with people descended from white European immigrants. Also not included in her argument is that during WWII, many German-Americans assimilated in self-defense, not wanting to be compared to the German NAZIs we were fighting.

But, I digress. If you love Alan Cumming's charming, irreverent sense of humor and don't mind the music as some reviewers seem to, you'll love this Audible offering. I know I do. It's a good reminder that if one is not Native American, one is descended from immigrants. Alan also recognizes those whose ancestors were most likely brought here against their will -- not an immigration choice, Kanye.

Fine

I’m a fan of Alan Cumming; not so much of showtunes, and this features a large amount of songs in that vein. Still an enjoyable listen though; nice to hear from lovely people. Too bad there aren’t more on the planet.
