'Bloody' goofy musical

Los Angeles Times: "Indie rock stars come in a variety of styles, but not many wear tight, blood-soaked T-shirts as they plunder Native American lands. But in 'Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,' the sardonically frolicsome, unabashedly sophomoric emo musical that premiered Sunday at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, America's seventh president is transformed into a moody hipster icon with a strange penchant for mutilation, both of himself and others."

Despite the fact that I like Andrew Jackson, I would really like to see this. Its funny to think of there being a similar musical two hundred years from now about Bush, and I hope that musical theatre does more of this and less of Shrek.
