Ah the classical music buffs are up in arms now too.
I wouldn't have heard of him because I don't listen to classical (although Pierre did introduce me to some wonderful piano concertos recently that may well have sparked an interest.) It is an area where I am profoundly ignorant and happy to confess to that. I suspect there might be some issues or physical entities on the planet ( of at least equal import) that even you are ignorant of Joe
I will ask what percentage of the global population have any interest in Western classical music and knowledge of its artists? I will then ask what percentage of the planet's population watch the news and see protests overseas. I'll ask if a viral post on Facebook has greater reach than this chap's recordings?
Again. no one I personally know has ever heard of him( with the exception thinking about it of the knowledgable Pierre!). They've all heard of Nelson Mandela and Stevie Wonder.
merlin.
here's a tough one (for you and perhaps others)...
would you allow ben affleck into your bar?
Merlin at the least you should read about Barenboim and, in particular, his work with the Divan Orchestra. A truly remarkable man who is highly respected on both sides of the Israel/Palestine divide. The Divan concerts at the Proms have been highlights IMO.
This is what the UK far right is feeding to American right wing audiences, and they're lapping it up. I assume she'd be laughed off the dais if she attempted to deliver the same screed in her home country?
Seriously, this is the only way I can listen to Trump speeches without wanting to blow my f*cking brains out. I mean it.
Again, accusations of wrongdoing are not enough. There has to be some leverage behind them. Who's got leverage on Trump? No one, until Congress changes hands or 2020 rolls around.russel.
why does the MSM not make a feast of this? why? all those people talking about bringing down trump by any means should be all for it. given the current mood, it's like presenting luka^H^H^H salah with an open goal.
