I always thought it was odd and somewhat anachronistic that he really liked Martin Luther King, Jr. Then again, that's through the goggles of a Pete hater.

Have you SEEN Lisztomania? It opens with a madcap musical number wherein naked Liszt is running around some kind of grand castle ballroom trying not to get shot by his lover's husband. And it basically only goes up from there. Almost nothing is as fun as Lisztomania.

I have no idea what their set is for Lollapalooza, but we always did pops for the donor gala-- one year it was this INCREDIBLE set of Beatles arrangements, like really difficult and well-orchestrated ones. Alternately, maybe they're fully just dropping a Tchaikovsky symphony in there.

I'm a very proud CYSO alum! It IS a cool name for a band because it's a cool band :)

(one hundred aggressively high-achieving orchestra kids is a band, if you squint)

Sydney Sweeney's politics are: "I did not like being poor, please give me money for acting and/or looking conventionally attractive so I can keep not being poor." I don't think she's trying to be a political figure, even though the ad sucks.

I remember being strictly limited to 5 for undergrad. Some friends did up to 7-10, and one girl I can only describe as "the crazy rich girl" (broke her phone in middle school because she didn't like the color and wanted a new one, etc) did 20+. Like... in this economy???

Those application fees are still HIGH, though, right? I wasn't in school all that long ago and I remember them being $75-100.

This is the one I think about so, so much, I love RVW. I have no idea how this would have adapted... the War would be so much... do you think they would scream real loud at the sea

fun fact: they didn't know this in 1971 as I would not be born for 20+ years, but they made this for the specific target audience of Me

Honestly, I think Sydney Sweeney just wants to make money. She's talked about growing up poor and about how she can't take time off to e.g. have a baby if she wanted to. I don't think there's a politics in it for her, even if it's in what she's doing... which is its own political choice, but hey.

"Lizstomania" was supposed to be the second of five classical rock operas by the director. We got "Mahler" (which isn't as fun), but we could have had a Berlioz, a Gershwin, and a Vaughan Williams.

I think about them constantly. CONSTANTLY.
