  A post on Arts and Letters Daily altered me to some great articles about the media and US military’s silly and dishonest response to the Fort Hood massacre . “After events like Fort Hood, why do public officials have to sound like college diversity deans? As though Americans will be hanging Muslims from lamp ...

• Music We Only Think We Know

  
  Inside the Classics — Authority: 465
  Hip-hop might just beat out classical music as the most misunderstood and unfairly maligned musical genre in existence today. When I tell other classical musicians that Im a hip-hop fan, the reaction tends to range from blank stares to outright revulsion. Only once or twice have I ever gotten a positive reaction of ...

• Surprising? Or not so much?

  
  WHATEVER! — Authority: 113
  I acknowledge the inherent risks in being a man and posting a link to this article , as it might leave the impression that I do so out of some satisfaction from its conclusions.  As the husband of a wife, father of a daughter and hopefully someday the father-in-law to a daughter-in-law, that is not the case at ...

• What a turn up for Turner

  
  BIGNEWS MARGATE — Authority: 413
  I have to say I was extremely sceptical that KCC would get a penny back from money rather naively spent, in my opinion on the original project “Turner Contemporary MK1” which would have been a ground breaking experiment (wrong metaphor) as Britain’s first off shore, ocean going art gallery.

• Bottle Music

  
  Inside the Classics — Authority: 465
  Several things can be deduced from this clip: 1) Some people have a lot of time on their hands; 2) The "Toreador Song" from Bizets Carmen is firmly entrenched in popular culture; and 3) David Letterman sounds to be tone deaf.
