Broadway | Let it Be

I can never say no to a Beatles show on Broadway. A couple years back, I saw Rain and loved it. When I had the opportunity to see Let It Be recently, I jumped at the chance. My friend Gina and I ended up with great seats in the mezzanine of the St. James Theatre, and we thoroughly enjoyed our Monday night Beatles concert! If you love the Beatles, this show is a must for you.

There's honestly not too much I can say about Let It Be. You will literally spend the entire show seeing an amazing concert of all Beatles music. The four guys who play the British lads are fantastic, and interact really well with the audience. Speaking of the audience, Let It Be is a show for everyone, though let's be honest, the crowd is mostly 50+. But hey, Beatles music is captivating for all ages, and you're sure to have a good time. The show features some of the most well-known Beatles songs, and tells the story of the band from beginning to end. I highly recommend this show! There's just nothing bad I can say about it.

Behind the Name

As I'm going to New York very soon, I decided this blog be dedicated entirely to those adventures. Until then, of course, I must find something entertaining to write about. Today, it's the story behind the name of this blog.

Insert disclaimer for future reference: I hate the word blog.

But it needed a name. And I wanted to incorporate "New York" or "NYC" or "Empire State" somewhere in the title. So I turned to Wikipedia and looked at the complete list of songs about New York. Then I saw it. "An Open Letter to NYC" by the Beastie Boys. A blog is like a letter of sorts. It made complete sense. I went straight to YouTube and found this:

Not my typical kind of music, but hey. It made a totally great name for this. So as I continue to study for my last final of the semester, I'll leave you with these lyrics:

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen
