almaviva90I think the saying's true: that you CAN learn something everyday.
Because I found out that TA was actually the model for the character Billy Elliot in the play/movie/musical of the same name. See here: www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/3667821/If-Billy-Elliot-had-been-a-painter.-.-..html Reading the synopsis again on Wikipedia, it makes sense (because the setting is in Durham [which I didn't know before], there's a mining community [also related to TA since his family was mostly made up of miners] and that there's this boy striving to do something artistic when it's not really done or praised in that sort of community [dance and music are similar enough to make a connection, lol].
Interesting. =D
