Yes, it has been recognize later, but very seldom when those shows opened in New York in the early 1960s.

One comment. Streisand was directed to sing "Miss Marblestein" to show her comedic side. And she wasn't new to all audience members. Barbara had been a guest on late night television shows, Mike Wallace and Jack Paar.

. Her song in "Wholesaler" was not written as a political statement. And that is way she sang it in the musical. Yes the other song has a well-known association with Roosevelt. I wrote about Roosevelt in grad school as a political science student in 1966 and 1967.

This time you are incorrect I saw "Wholesale." Again, Barbra is 77 years old. Given her age, and subsequent politicial, she knew it was about FDR. It does not make a difference if more that fifty years later some people know little about Roosevelt. In "Wholesale," she stopped the show with that first song during the Boston tryout.

"Happy Days are here Again" is vividly associated with Franklin Roosevelt. Barbra is 77-years old, surely she knew the association. I am 76, and remember her singing "Happy Days are Here Again" from the beginning of her career, even before "Wholesale" on Broadway.

I have no problem with Barbra Streisand voicing her politcal views at a concert, especially with Hillary and Bill Clinton there. It happened often during the war in Vietnam and earlier during the civil rights struggle. Joan Baez and Jackie Washington sang about civil rights in Cambridge, Northeast U and Sympathy Hall. Bob Dylan sang his protest song of the 1960s, updated to include Nixon. I never saw Frank Sinatra, but knew he was friendly with Reagan and Nixon's former vice president, Spiro Agnew. Janis Joplin, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Cleo Laine seldom talked about politics U2, Patti Smith, Jefferson Airplane, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam are far more politcal. Keanu Reeves and his band Dogstar were silent about everything!

Yes, a epic exaggeration. And I have visit Mexico City. Russia is far less dangerous than Yemen, Afghanistan and South Sudan is one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

Bill and Hillary Clinton were there. I had a ticket for her concert last night but decided not to travel from Philadelphia to New York. I like Barbra, but seeing her at MSG would bring back good memories of seeing Judy Garland there in 1967 around Christmas.
