OTL 73: Christopher Jackson Excerpt #2 “The cultural relevance of Pac”
Christopher Jackson: We are reaching an audience that will still go see a Jersey Boys but that's not their music. This culture -- it's a cultural relevance that Jersey Boys would have had a cultural relevance 50, 60 years ago. You know, and that's the difference. I think the audience that we're reaching already understands the form, and for those that don't, they catch up really quickly. Pac's stuff is not necessarily easy to get - I listened to him for 20 years, but it wasn't until I saw it written down on a piece of paper that I understood the intricacies of the poetry itself
