main ingredient-red wine
- s
- sabine Nov 8, 2004 02:38 PM
I have about 1.5 bottles of rhone red in my fridge that is not fresh enough to drink-lost it's fruit a bit- but would be good to cook with. Besides coq au vin (which is supposed to use burgundy), what other suggestions can you think of to use this up and not waste it? Also, Nigella sez she freezes left over wine. Has anyone else every done this?
Yes, I freeze wine to use later in cooking. If you generally use just a bit to deglaze after a saute, use ice cube trays. If you intend to use it for a braise, use a larger tupperware container. Be aware, that since the alcohol prohibits complete freezing, it can get a little soft around the edges.
If you have a bottle of white wine, too, you can make wine broth.
1. Purée 1 peeled carrot, 1 onion, 1 tomato, and whole apple (core & all) in batches in food processor.
2. Pour two bottles of wine (1 red, 1 white) into a soup pot and stir in the puréed veggies, along with 1 cup of V-8 juice and a teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a boil. Add 2 beef bouillon cubes and let boil 15 minutes.
3. Strain and restrain through several layers dampened cheesecloth (rinsing the cheesecloth between strainings) until soup is relatively clear. Reheat and serve in brandy snifters. (Soup is sipped straight from the snifters, not spooned.)
This is a peppery delight. Terrific as a first course for a fancy-ish dinner.
How about beef burgundy (or rhone, in your case) or brisket braised w/ red wine, orange peel, & rosemary? Don't have any recipes on hand, but I remember making a wine-braised brisket recipe from Bon Appetit a few yrs. back that you can search for.
Beef stew, definitely (the one with anchovies and thyme in Nigella's How to Eat is excellent). Also a beurre rouge sauce goes excellently with salmon -- like beurre blanc but with red wine.
For a dinner party some months ago, I served pears poached in red wine as the dessert. They were a huge hit and presented beautifully. As I recall, I simply added about 3/4 c. of sugar, a cinnamon stick and some lemon rind to about 3 cups of red wine and simmered the peeled pears in the liquid. You have to maneuver a bit to get the pears to take the poaching liquid on all sides.
P.S. You can get a 2-for-1 deal out of this recipe by reducing the poaching liquid further after the pears are poached to make a great syrup to pour over yet another dessert e.g., orange segments, pound cake or ice cream.
I seem to be the only one saying this and am surprised: I would never cook with anything that I wouldn't drink on its own! Simply, for me, if its "flat" in the glass it's going to be flat in the pot. It's also for this reason that I don't buy cooking wine.
But this is me.

Generally blogger use FeedBurner Service to deliver each Latest Post to their Subscibers via RSS Feed/Email. Once configuring FeedBurner Service with thier Blog, they don't need to do anything else other than publishing new posts. As soon as they publish a new post, that post automatically delivers to all his/her registered RSS Feed/EMail Subscribers.
But there is always a problem with this default working system of FeedBurner.
Although each newly registered subscriber gets your each next post into his/her inbox but your already published old articles doesn't delivers to them and we blogger don't have any scheduling option in FeedBurner Control Panle to send old posts to new subscriber.
Suppost you are blogging for a long time and you have more than 5000 FeedBurner RSS/EMail Subscribers. Question is:
"Do all your subscribers have read all your articles?"
No, never.
You can very easily findout these low pageview articles using Google Analytics Account which have no more than 100 pageviews. That means, only 100 readers have visited these posts while 4900 subscribers still may read them and some of them may be converted to.
In other words, there are so many posts already exists in your Database which are full of Very Interesting and Useful Information for sure, but didn't got enough readers, just because your readers didn't reached to these posts and your reader could not reached to these posts because when they subscribed to your Blog, these posts were already exists and already exists posts are not delivered to newly registered subscribers via FeedBuerner Service.
Just think, if you could send your old articles to all of your currently subscribed readers again, how much more Traffic and Sales you can get to increase your income without investing any Time and Enrgy which requires in researching and creating new post?
Although so many have already read those old articles, but there would be more than 50% subscribers who still have not read them too.
You would neither need to pay Money nor your Time and Energy to get Return Traffic of your Subscribers and every online marketer knows that:
Return Traffic converts in Sales well than Fresh Traffic.
Can you imaging, how many sales would increase with this return traffic just with old articles?
No, you can't, because you still have not tried. But the question is:
"Is it possible to Resend Old Articles to All Registered FeedBurner Subscribes?"
Yes, I can do it. Actually I do it because I don't need to invest more than 5 minutes to send old articles to all subscribed users while creating a new post is always a time consuming task.
Do you want to know "How to do it?"
OK. Let's do it, but first of all you need to understand the Working of FeedBurner Service with your Blog. Register and Login to read the rest of the article.

The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight.

Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up this year.

Greg Cosell: Bell And Gross Struggled To Protect Against The Saints
Carolina Panthers
Buy Panthers Tickets
Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
Executive Produce for ESPN's NFL Matchup, Greg Cosell, joins the boys for his weekly film breakdown. After checking on the health of the city, Greg immediately starts breaking down the Panthers loss to the Saints.
On the Panthers pass protection: Both tackles, Byron Bell and Jordan Gross, had poor games in one-on-one pass protection and that was a defining element of the game.
On the Panthers offense: The panthers offense was not a whole lot different than it has been in every game. this is not a team driven by offense. When the defense gives up points then what the offense is, becomes magnified. This game was more a function of the Saints high-powered offense being able to put up 21 points in the first half. That was far more important. This was not that different a game from the offense, they're not a high-powered, explosive offense.
On Quentin Mikell: For the last six or seven weeks, in the Panthers nickel package, Mikell was out and Robert Lester was the safety out there with Mike Mitchell. This week, Lester did not see the field, they kept Mikell on the field. Maybe because he's more experienced against a diverse Saints attack, but this was a change that was made. There were a number of times the Saints isolated Mikell in coverage, because he's not a very good coverage player.
On the Saints offensive execution: Conceptually, they do a lot of things you have to defend and they did them very well in this game. They do what we call 'three level stretches' . The 15-yard Colston touchdown was classic Saints. Colston was the inside slot to the three receiver side, and when he's in that position, particularly in the red zone, it's an alert that the ball is going to be thrown to him down the seam. It was a great playcall. the route combination beat the coverage and Brees made an incredibly precise throw. It's always easy in those situations to rip a defender, but that play was designed to attack three different defenders and it worked. Sometimes the offense calls a play and it's perfectly executed. In the NFL there's not a big difference between success and failure. The backside safety came over and probably missed the ball by a foot. That's what happens when Drew Brees is on the game. I thought the shifts and motions caused some problems for the Panthers. I thought they tried to react and adjust, instead of lining up and playing and they got caught a couple times.
Greg also takes a look at the Panthers opponent this week, the Jets, and looks ahead to the Saints return visit to Charlotte. He also weighs in on the Peyton in the cold notion and the Thursday night game between the Broncos and Chargers.

NEW YORK (AP) - Mike Babcock of the Detroit Red Wings, Jon Cooper of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Patrick Roy of the Colorado Avalanche are finalists for the Jack Adams Award.
The NHL Broadcasters' Association voted for the top coach after the regular season. The winner is announced June 24 in Las Vegas.
Babcock led the Red Wings to a 93-point season and their 23rd consecutive playoff berth, the longest active streak in North American pro sports.
Cooper is in his first full season as a head coach. He guided the Lightning to second place in the Atlantic Division a year after they were 28th in the overall standings.
Roy, in his rookie season as an NHL coach, helped Colorado finish third in the overall standings after placing 29th overall the year before.

Now washed up, he attempts to reinvent himself as a director by staging a new retelling of a classic Broadway dramatic play called "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". The events leading up to the Saturday night premiere prove to be one disaster after another as the original lead actor is injured while on set and Riggan scrambles to find a replacement, but the replacement proves to be exactly who he needs - a method actor who takes the job way too seriously. But Riggan has a hard time juggling between the set, his replacement actor, his equally washed up daughter, and a host of other disasters that prevent a proper staging of the play. Meanwhile, a New York Times critic who Riggan has to woo threatens to shut down production of the play before it even starts with a scathing review of the opening night.

A seemingly complimentary tweet sent from Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald's Twitter account Friday set the Twitter world abuzz with accusations that Fitzgerald disrespected the NBA.
The tweet was sent after New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin scored 38 points Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
''Officially on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon. There's finally an NBA player who plays hard and says the right things off the court,'' the tweet read.
The problem was, Fitzgerald didn't send the tweet. Wildcats director of football operations Cody Cejda mistakenly logged on as Fitzgerald and tweeted the remark while watching the game. When Cejda realized his mistake, he deleted the tweet.
The damage was already done, though. Critics of the tweet accused Fitzgerald of disrespecting Bulls star Derrick Rose, who is known as one of the hardest-working players in the league and is accommodating with the media, and of being a
racist. Lin is Asian-American.
NU associate director of athletic communications Doug Meffley, who also is the director of social media for the athletic department, said Fitzgerald does his own tweets, as do most of the Wildcats' coaches.
''He's pretty open about it,'' Meffley said. ''And he's pretty proud of it.''
But Cejda also has access to Fitzgerald's account for compliance and recruiting purposes, and Meffley said Cejda tweets from the
account ''from time to time.''
''Cody intended to tweet [about Lin] from his own account but
instead logged on as Fitz,'' Meffley said. ''The tweet was meant as a compliment to Lin and not in dis-
respect to anyone. Fitz is a huge Derrick Rose fan.''

ratio of the YS is more like 5.8 and the same for the Argosy.
Charlie would have waterline lengths for the former.I think the number 5.8 is one that he once referred to. There is a lot of overhang on the Argosy. If I were to measure mine in the water I think LWL would be 13'10.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday townhome in Sacramento
Townhome, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
Lovely, unique 1853 home just north of downtown Sacramento in the quiet Alkali Flat residential neighborhood. Only 6 blocks from the State Capitol we are within walking distance to many restaurants, theaters and other attractions like the Crocker Art Museum, Railroad Museum, Old Sacramento, Sacramento Convention Center, and more. Walk to the exciting Midtown area and get a bicycle taxi back.
Our reasonable rates and a lenient refund policy make it convenient to book and guarantee your stay. We look like a B&B but are a vacation rental that rents from overnight stays to up to 45 days.
Leave the car behind! Sacramento Airport (SMF) is 22 miles away and a typical shuttle is $35 each way, groups are less. There's a zip car station three blocks away and bicycle rentals within six blocks. If you bring your car, off-street parking here is free and there is room for an RV or trailer.
So, what is the difference between the J. Neely Johnson House and the Bidwell Mansion, Stanford Mansion and the Governor's Mansion? You can't stay at any of those others! And sadly, due to state budget woes, you may not even be able to visit them in the near future. Today you can stay at this beautiful home for as little as $99 per night.*
Check out our features and amenities. For business or pleasure, we've got everything you need while you are in Sacramento.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the J. Neely Johnson House is Sacramento's oldest surviving residence having once been the home to several Early California elected officials; the fourth Governor, a State Treasurer and Supreme Court Justice. Restored as it may have been in the late 1890s, we are delighted to share with you a bit of 19th Century Sacramento.
All proceeds from your visits help further the restoration and maintenance of this landmark property. Currently, there are no ADA accommodations; we are planning for access in the near future. All work accomplished in the restoration and rehabilitation is in accordance with or allowed by state and local codes as well as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior Standards for Historic Preservation. This project is a previous grant recipient from the State of California Office of Historic Preservation. All current work is privately funded.
Sue and I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the many who have stayed and enjoyed our the home over the last three years. Now, personal circumstances offer us another opportunity and regrettably we will be closing the home for the months of May and June 2015 in an attempt to market and sell the property. Our ad on VRBO will be cancelled on March 1, 2015 but the home will be available until the end of April 2015 for your vacation or business needs.
*45 days extended stay.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible

The Ten Most Badass Band Names in DFW
By Lee Escobedo
By Alice Laussade
In case you didn't know, roller derby is back. All-girl teams have started popping up around the D-FW area (see City on page 16), and last Sunday, four groups from the Austin-based Texas Rollergirls took the rink to show the newbies how it's done. These wise ones came with kneepads and leather minis, with such names as Sedonya Face, Slim Kickins, Bloody Mary and Kitty Kitty Bang Bang. Between sets, entertainment came in the form of local bands Max Cady and This Damn Town, making for perhaps one of the strangest music shows to hit Dallas in some time. This was a family affair, with spectators ranging from toddlers to octogenarians, all absorbed by the multimedia assault of sport, rock and rumble. OK, so the bands' sound wasn't great; this was a skating rink, after all. The echo of the cavernous rink made it almost impossible to make out any lyrics to Max Cady's songs, but the rock band still tore through a set including "Tonight Alive" from the group's fierce album of the same name. Despite the sound issues, singer Justin Moore captivated the eclectic audience with his focused tenor/baritone rock-out, making it all the more unbelievable that he was ever part of the ethereal, now-defunct Frill. The bands were a perfect fit to the evening's catfight exhibitions--mixing a dash of rousing drunkenness with brawling guitar riffs from both Max Cady's Jeff Biehler and This Damn Town's Jeremy Diaz. Hell, the Brian Setzer snarl of TDT's Alex Cuervo and spot-on bass of Omar YeeFoon (not to mention the pompadour) made me long for an on-the-spot jam session with Johnny Reno. After their sets, members of both bands joined fans and local derby teams at the rink's perimeter to throw up some devil horns, chug some beers and cheer on Austin's roller chicks to kick serious tail.

In a report released late Wednesday, the agency said inventories dropped by 1.2 million barrels to 387.6 million barrels. Inventories of crude remain well above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year, the report said. The EIA said supplies of distillate fuels, which include home heating oil, rose by 2.4 million barrels to 115.2 million barrels. Inventories of distillate fuels are in the lower half of the average range for this time of year, the agency said. Stockpiles of gasoline fell by 600,000 barrels to 221.7 million barrels this week and remain above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year. The national average price of unleaded gasoline moved lower for the seventh consecutive week, dropping 6.6 cents to $3.542 per gallon, putting the price of gasoline 38 cents lower than the same week of 2012.

In the 1950s, Rheingold beer was the biggest-selling beer in the New York City area. In the 1960s, it sponsored the Mets, back when they were still the Amazin' Mets. It died in the 1970s, as national beers started to wipe out the regionals.
Today, the brand has been revived by a former Labatt executive, who's even begun sponsoring Mets broadcasts. It's an example of how marketers are trying to revive dead brands for which many consumers still have nostalgic feelings.

Heck has been in the U.S. Army Reserves since 1991. He has been called to active duty three times, including a deployment in Operation Iraqi Freedom.[2][3]
Heck is set to run for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. If he runs, he will seek the Republican nomination in the primary election. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Heck is a more moderate right of center Republican Party vote. As a result, he may break with the Republican Party line more than his fellow members.
Heck was born in Queens, New York. He earned a B.A. from Pennsylvania State University in 1984 and his Doctor's of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O) from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1988. He earned a Master's of Strategic Studies at the U.S. Army War College in 2006.[4]

Heck has indicated that he has a plan to fast track tourist visas to boost the tourist industry in Southern Nevada.[8] He has noted his opposition to government tax burdens and red tape on on the private sector.[7]
Government Spending
Heck supports an audit of the Federal Reserve and a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.[8]
Presidential preference
Joe Heck endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. [9]
Specific votes
Fiscal Cliff
Heck voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 85 Republicans that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257-167 vote on January 1, 2013.[10]
Legislative actions
113th Congress
The 113th Congress has had 55 out of 5,401 introduced bills enacted into law (1 percent) as of November 30, 2013. Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 1.14 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the first session.[11] For more information pertaining to Heck's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[12]
National security
American intervention in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
Heck signed a letter asking President Obama to "consult and receive authorization from Congress before ordering the use of U.S. military force in Syria." The letter was sent August 28, 2013.[13]
National Defense Authorization Act
Heck supported HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[14]
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Heck supported HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[14]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Heck opposed House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[14]
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
Heck supported HR 624 - the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[15] The bill was largely supported by Republicans but divided the Democratic Party.[14]
Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
In March 2013 the Republican controlled House passed the budget proposal set out by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (R) for the third straight year.[16] However, not all Republican representatives voted in favor of the proposal.[16] Heck was one of the 10 Republican Representatives who voted against Ryan's budget proposal.[16]
The proposal was killed after being voted down in the U.S. Senate with a 40-59 vote.[17]
The proposal would have cut about $5 trillion over the next decade and aimed to balance the budget by the end of the 10-year period.[16] The 2013 bill had opposition from 10 Republicans — the same number that voted against it in 2012. In 2011 only four Republicans cast a vote in opposition.[16] Democrats have unanimously voted against the bill every year.[16]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Heck supported the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[18] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[19]
Immigration reform
Several Republican members of the U.S. House may have faced a tougher path to re-election in 2014 because immigration reform did not pass in the House in 2013, according to a Public Policy Poll released in July 2013.[20]
According to the poll, a majority of voters in seven Republican congressional districts said they were less likely to vote for their representative if he failed to support immigration reform. Voters also reported in the poll that they were less likely to support Republican candidates in the 2014 general election if the Republican House members blocked immigration reform proposals.[20] Heck is one of the seven representatives who served in a district that had overwhelming support for the Senate's immigration reform plan.[20]
Morton Memos Enforcement Prohibition
Heck supported House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[21] The vote largely followed party lines.[22]
Repealing Obamacare
Heck has supported all attempts to repeal or delay the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[23]
Social issues
Heck supported HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[24]
Heck is a member of the National Republican Congressional Committee's Patriot Program. The program is designed to assist vulnerable Republican incumbents heading into the 2014 election.[25]
Heck is one of three vulnerable Republican members of the House, who represent substantially Hispanic districts, to be targeted by TV ads from Democratic Super PAC House Majority PAC. The ads provide a preview to Democratic plans to turn immigration into a key issue and brand Republicans as unwilling to embrace immigration reform.[26][27][28][29]
Heck won re-election in 2012. He defeated Chris Dyer in the Republican primary on June 12, 2012. After the election, the Sunlight Foundation listed four races where outside spending likely pushed the winner over the top. Heck was listed as one of the four, spurred on by more than $2 million in spending by independent groups, including the American Action Network and the National Republican Campaign Committee.[30] [31]

Unforgettable Memories
Again and again The memories flood my mind, Intense, deeply felt, Strong, piercing, Tightly impregnable, hard. I am bracing myself against the wall, Trying to unwind In prayers! Only this way does The tension in me break. It takes a long, long time To cope, to soften the pain, But these memories Resurface again, Again, and again. I am trying to Rescue my troubled mind From Auschwitz-Birkenau, The gruesome site. I cling to hope for this memory To unwind—to leave, So I can again cherish my life For a time. by Hilda Lebedun...read more

Hearkening to the Horns of Hope and Love:
What The Lord of the Rings Teaches Us For Today
by Anne Marie Gazzolo
Hope and love are dominant themes in The Lord of the Rings. These are two of the most desperately needed virtues today in a world entrenched in a culture of death, despair, and lust, due to the instant and 24 hour access the media provides. Those in the Red Book are no more exempt from darkness than we, but the examples of hope, love, courage, and fidelity in the tale give us inspiration and strength to keep going.
One of the most important exercises of hope is Gandalf's for Gollum. He acknowledges the small possibility of this, but it is still there. Because he refuses to abandon it, the Elves in Mirkwood treat him kindly, and Frodo actively works toward it also. We need to have this same hope for those who appear lost, for as Bilbo and Sam point out, "Where's there life there's hope" (Hobbit 288, LotR IV:7, 685).
Galadriel's words, "on one hand lies darkness, and on the other only hope" (LotR II:8, 367) are also powerful for Tolkien's world as he and his family lived through the dark years of WWII and for our present day which has witnessed so many senseless acts of hatred and violence.
Dimitra Fimi makes note of the shared faith of Tolkien and the poet Francis Thompson and Tolkien's admiration of the man's mystical work, especially noting from The Kingdom of God:
O World invisible, we view thee,
O World intangible, we touch thee,
O World unknowable, we know thee,
Inapprehensible, we clutch thee! (qtd. in Tolkien, Race 43)
These words remind me of two more times during the War of the Ring where hope is strongly present. As the siege of Minas Tirith is about to start, with no sign of hoped-for reinforcements, Pippin perceives that Gandalf remains joyful inside. The wizard has faith in his Creator and His plans, so he does not perceive just the dire straits of the present but beyond them to the future. Denethor says such "hope is but ignorance" (LotR V:7, 835). But it is not. It is faith and trust. Because Gandalf hopes, Pippin hopes. This also brings to mind the profound experience that Sam has upon seeing the star in Mordor, which shows him that while he and Frodo toil in darkness on the ground, there is beauty far above that evil cannot touch or mar. The words Thompson uses bring to brighter light the deep hope Gandalf and Sam both have that the present darkness is not all there is.

Two hours and 45 minutes?
Love extends the boundaries of what people can accept, but don't depend on it.
No wonder they're racking up safety problems. You do gymnastic stuff for that long you get tired and start screwing up badly.

Mornin'.All the merchandising will make up for the mishaps and overrun. Actually, the critics here on local tv have been slamming the director personally, saying she's a tyrant and a spoiled rich girl. Michael Riedel, the Post critic, has made it his personal jihad. Dude, who gives a crap?

What I lacks in brains I make for in um I make up for in in um gummy bears. Yeah, that's the ticket.
The real question is, can this possibly be worse than Rowan Atkinson's Comic Relief special Spider-Plant Man?
This just in: Julie Taymor is leaving the show as director.

I was trying (and not really succeeding) not to judge this musical until I actually heard the songs. I heard one called "rise up" and it sucked. Emo rock seems to be showing up more and more on broadway, and I don't mind it. But this was just... *wince*.

Mornin'.Bloody Andrew Jackson was a vehicle for emo rock and little else. Where's my black metal anthem starring Teddy Roosevelt?

No but Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson also parodied emo rock a little, as well as being political satire 200 years after the fact.
Moi?Should probably mention it here: I made a Spidey Project topic over here, for the other Spider-man musical.

I listened to one of the songs form the show. Someone please get Bono and The Edge a copy of Stephen Sondheim's Finishing the Hat, they don't know how to write theatre lyrics.

I knew that... but then I forgot about it due to brain damage due to facepalming during the entirety of "Rise Up" or whatever that song is.

Coincidentally, they halted the show to retool the script from scratch.
