Is anyone else getting Evita Peron deja vu from this whole St. Charlie hysteria?

"Oh what a circus, oh what a show, Argentina has gone to town,
over the death of an actress called Eva Peron...."

are like railroad tracks in a big railroad yard.

There are a a few differences: Evita was a Spanish-speaker and wore her dresses far better than Charlie Kirk would have.

Also, this dirty old man (That’s me) thinks that Evita was far better-looking back in her heyday.

That has me in tears.
I have never seen the full musical, (mostly because I don't care for Madonna), but i may have to reconsider finding and watching it.

Edited to add: The parallels to the whole circus around cks death are amazing.
