The musical adaptation of War of The Worlds will never not be funny to me. Like, yeah H.G. was onto something good but what this novel really needs is a sick guitar solo.

This is so fucking brain rot dont give gen z media from the 70s they will ruin it

The Artillery Man from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (voiced by David Essex) would absolutely be a tumblr sexy man. It's the trauma and delusional himbo optimism, as well as Essex's lovely accent. Listen to the track Brave New World. More than the tumblr sexy man of it all, its also just a brilliantly lovely and human moment in the musical. Two men running from martians, who saw each others' supposed deaths, reunite in saftety and the narrator listens to the artillary man's grand ideas in quiet amusement and pity - and then they play games, an activity the narrator admits in the tone of someone who knows the ludicrousy of such a thing in their ongoing apocolypse.

"Wherever there was a stream, the red weed clung and grew with frightening voraciousness, its claw-like throngs choking the movement of the water. And then it began to creep like a slimy, red animal across the land, covering field and ditch and tree and hedgerow, with living scarlet feelers, crawling, crawling."

I am once again hyperfocusing on a 1970's musical adaptation of an 1897 sci-fi classic

The problem is, of course, the humans.

Jeff Wayne’s musical version of War Of The Worlds should not be as funky as it is. Mate people are getting burnt alive by Martians this should not have such a good baseline. The Artilleryman And The Fighting Machine is one of the funkiest pieces but every song in this album about an alien invasion should play at a disco

What sort of name is Ogilvy?

No wonder the narrator doesn’t even mention his fate. Can’t remember it.
