In the '80s, America was caught up in retromania and enamored of all things '50s. Sadly, that love affair included Ayn Rand, whose 1957 book Atlas Shrugged turned greed into a virtue and posited that the "good" who offer themselves as sacrifices to "evil" get what's coming to them. This was the era of trickle-down economics, which is nothing more than a fancy way of saying "let them eat cake."



Yep, that's right, Little Shop of Horrors.

"A Is A" sounds like it was a title made for a showstopping musical number.
