For some reason, this thread brings me back to the inspiring orchestral concert featuring of the music of Strauss that my wife and I attended in Vienna a while back. The performances were a revelation and completely changed my notion of Strauss' music.
When I turn on the endless war $$$ and fear box, I'm reminded that if one wants a barbaric & passive society, it helps to limit people's major cultural experiences to only those things that make money.
Whether it's health care, the terrible condition of our nations schools ect., the one source of savings that could help provide funds for things people actually need, never seems to get mentioned (at least by the pudits on the box). End the occupations and stop the endless wars.
Things being how they are, I'm seriously considering offering free classical music concerts to our schools.
