Music Man

While flipping though Youtube today, I came across and unexpected pleasure. I discovered a new version of the old hit, The Music Man, and as I watched I realized how much times have changed. The story revolves around Professor Harold Hill's pursuit of Marian the librarian. He is persistent to a fault and in spite of her numerous rebuffs he will not give up. Even though she spurns his advances repeatedly he keeps after her using all sorts of trickery, false promises and out right lies. In the end he wins her heart. In today's world he would be arrested for stalking and convicted of sexual harassment. The old adage of he chased her until she caught him is no longer allowed. The country has undergone many cultural changes and most were good but some are just a little too much.
