And I started with the revolution, ironically enough. And my idea was, because I think it was 2007, 2008, Iraq was, they had elections and it was a big deal in Iraq. I think Saddam had already been, had fallen. And I remember videos of people like using their thumb, I mean, their finger to vote.
And I remember thinking, gosh, man, these people are, you know, at that time we were thinking, you know, we're liberating them and they're getting to vote, you know, and And here in this country, no one votes, you know, no one votes, man. Don't they understand the sacrifices going on? We should vote. We should vote.

So I had this idea of kind of, um, um, writing a play and reminding people of the revolution. Excuse me. I'm just gonna, I like tears. And, um, Yeah.

And then I started reading about the civil war. Then I started reading about, you know, Vietnam. And then I started reading about, you know, all the wars, you know?

You know, I mean, Joseph Plum, he fought in the Continental Army under George Washington. And he talks about how they never got paid. And a lot of Minutemen, when they came back after the revolution, they became indentured servants because the pay they were promised they never got.

And I have this fascination about the past. I just, I've always have, people always ask me if you can go a hundred years forward or a hundred years backwards, where would you go? Hmm.
