I've never even heard of it! We'll have to get it sometime.
Stephen took our youngest (she loves Judy Garland) to see "Judy Garland in Concert" with the Boston Pops for her (daughter's, not Judy's) birthday last month - as you can imagine, this was not so easy to do! They both really enjoyed it (Stephen said it was a little eerie, but very well done).
Funny follow-up: I told the 10 year-old about 'The Pirate' and she broke into a peppy chorus of Mack the Black! Apparently, she already knew the music through one of her Judy Garland CDs!

That's great! You need to get your daughter to sing you 'Nina'.
Stephen and I spent this last week at the Objectivist Conference ( OCON ) in Boston. We started out the week staying in town, but finished it off commuting. As we stayed at the Seaport Hotel at the beginning of the week when we knew almost no one, we didn’t take advantage of the social atmosphere, but were happily sequestered in our room. After getting to know a few people, we dined, drank, and were generally merry with those few. Through the classes, general sessions, and referenced symposiums (in the ancient Greek sense), I left with a calmer sense of purpose, renewed motivation, and a smoldering desire to make the world a better place. By firmly placing the moral foundation under the tremendous achievements of the Founding Fathers first in my own mind, I then hope to help do so in the minds of others who have chosen the fundamental alternative to live, turning that smolder into a bonfire. One of the most immediately motivating things I learned at OCON this week regards the light tha
Vacation was fun, but I like being home. I guess I'm just boring that way. There was plenty of sun, sand, salt water kisses, family, food, and fun. Maybe it was the lack of tutus and tiaras. Now we're all experiencing a slight vacation hangover and need to rest. It's a good thing we have a few days before work and school.
Welcome to this 153 rd issue of the Objectivist Round Up, a blog carnival of posts written by individuals who are advocates of Objectivism : the philosophy developed and defined by Ayn Rand . If you are new to Ayn Rand and would like to discover more about her "philosophy for living on earth", I recommend you read her two great novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead . If you know her novels, I recommend her non-fiction starting with The Virtue of Selfishness , and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal . The Ayn Rand Institute and the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights provide relevant information and commentary.

I just saw this post for the first time. I am wondering if you have seen 'The Pirate', with Judy Garland and Gene Kelley. It too is a lot of fun.

Let me know when you seen it and I try to add a few more recommendations to The Aesthetic Capitalist.
I went through a long Judy Garland phase myself. Had my family a little worried, I think. ;-)
Many props for having a daughter that loves Judy Garland... much better than Ms. Miley Cyrus!
