What country still has music?

Rod Stewart and Queen Latifa now have Jazz Standard albums out.
(I am not a fan of)
John "Mahivishna" Mclaughlin has been doing Classical albums for a while.
(big fan of).
Bruce "Stringbean" Springsteen is working on a Pagliacci album??

oops, Mahavishnu .... (sorry John)

Next time I go into the boxing room to work the heavy bag, I think I will play some Mozart and see if that can get me going like some good AC/DC.

Map,
You should have worked that youngster over at the tune of .........
Stravinsky's "Rite Of Spring" on the account of your "Rite Of Better Taste". HA

Just watched a piece on the BBC about an Afghan Youth Orchestra touring the USA. They played at Lincoln center. Very poignant to see young people, esp the girls, risk their lives to play and listen to music. No music lovers among the taliban!! Puts all our musical / gear differences of opinion in proper context. We in this country enjoy an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the arts. As well as other freedom.
Cheers
