I love the idea that Chase Bank is showing up to the orchestra's office demanding a performance of Ligeti.
If audiences had the audacity to start booing these idiotic displays, orchestras would cease programming them. No classical musician wants to get ruthlessly boo'd... & the corporate/NGO donors who force such programming would capitulate.

I’m at an art gala for my son’s school and they told the kids to “dress up” so all of them are in suits and beautiful dresses and there’s one kid who misunderstood and came as Spider-Man.

The limewire generation learned quickly how to spot bad files and it’s honestly a big reason why Millennials have better internet literacy than the generations on either side
