[Can you inaging Brahms in lycra?] The only suitable aerobics are hiking, mountain climbing, hunting, laughing and of course vigorous sexual intercourse.

I shared a cabin with the Berg, but only knew the Boulez by listening. One of the boys in my cabin developed an allergy to the Berg--gave him migraines. It's nice to hear they are doing well.

You can tell Classical Music's been around and isn't going to fall for the usual journalistic tricks. They've seen it all!

Not like it keeps me up at night, but close to it. If classical music is so elevated, so ennobling, then those practicing it should be the most elevated and ennobled people around, right? I'm not trying to hijack the direction your blog takes, but I am very curious to know what your reactions would be to these two articles: Richard Taruskin slamming those who "elevate" classical music http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=f3839c75-3724-4154-adc4-e0638e30448a&p=1 Stanley Fish, a little less vituperatively, on the humanities in general: http://fish.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/06/will-the-humanities-save-us/?scp=3&sq=justify+humanities Yours, Nacho lover Yeah I wonder about this sort of thing as well.
