Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is an emo/punk/pop-ulism musical that tells the story of the rise to power of a president who was complex. This is basically Hamilton but about Jackson (who was not a fan of ACTUAL Hamilton, and given his issues with people of color, probably wouldn't have dug on the musical either). This show is also, at LEAST twice as good as Hamilton if for no other reason than Jackson is at LEAST twice as good as Alexander Hamilton. But if you need reasons...here they are:1. Hamilton established the national system of banking and the NATIONAL BANK. Jackson destroyed the 2nd National Bank, bringing about a major panic following his presidency and the closure of 33,000 jobs. Boom. Advantage: Jackson.2. Jackson killed a guy. Yeah yeah yeah I know, Hamilton was in battle and yadda yadda probably "killed a guy" too...but Jackson straight MURKED a guy. In a duel. Hamilton...famously...did NOT win a duel. Jackson, 2-nil.3. After Aaron Burr stuck a fork in A. Ham he travelled...or...y'know...hit the road for bit. And he went to hang with Jackson...and got him involved in a scheme wherein Burr was gathering an independent army to strike against Spain in the west, and leverage his victory there against the United States...effectively staging a coup. Jackson was IN TO IT and helped...until the thing blew up and Burr went to trial...and JACKSON DEFENDED HIM...what? We know from Hamilton that Alexander was frequently known to freestyle rap and one of his best lines was, "Burr, you're a better lawyer than me." If that was the case...and Burr got Jackson to be HIS lawyer...well...Jackson is, by the transitive property of awesome...at LEAST twice as dope as Alexander Hamilton.4. Hamilton was a gross immigrant from some sh*thole country...Jackson was born in A-MUR-RICK-UH...to immigrant parents...umm...best Anchor Baby EVER?!?5. Jackson won the popular vote for president three times...Hamilton is the ONLY "Founding Father" not to be president6. Jackson was the first president to have an attempt made on his life. An assassin with a pistol took a shot at him from a few feet away. Misfire. Dude pulls out a SECOND pistol. Misfire AGAIN. Jackson beats him about the head and shoulders with his cane because he was old as shit at the time (68 years old). Later investigations found both pistols to be in perfect working condition making the odds of those misfires a stunning 125,000 - 1 or so...Hamilton actually only faced down an actual shooter one time in his life...and got shot. And killed.7. Hamilton went to Princeton. Became a soldier. Became a lawyer. Jackson became a soldier. Became a lawyer...NO COLLEGE! Who's smarter now?8. Both guys were involved in early sex scandals...Hamilton's was all about not wanting people to think he did it and getting all twisted about it. Jackson's was about the fact that he met a lady named Rachel, dug her, and they married without his giving a rat's ass that she was still married. Then he proceeded to beat the daylights out of people who brought up the fact that he WAS a bigamist. We could go on...but what's the point? Screw Hamilton. Jackson rules.
