Dear Rane_H,

“Is this ping worthy?”

Yeah, sure, why not? I think that the issues raised by Allan Bloom were important, and are important to consider for those of us who love classical music.

Classical Music Ping List ping!

If you want on or off this list, let me know via FR e-mail.

Thanks,

John Kerry—replied: “Oh sure. I follow and I’m interested. I’m fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there’s a lot of poetry in it. There’s a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you’d better listen to it pretty carefully, ’cause it’s important. I’m still listening because I know that it’s a reflection of the street and it’s a reflection of life.”

Really? John Kerry is “fascinated” by rap and “listening” to hip-hop? Think if you broke into the Kerry household and riffled through John and Teresa’s CD collection you’d find a single rap album? I didn’t mind Senator Kerry when he was being mocked as a flip-flopper, but I find him even less plausible as America’s first flip-flopper hip-hopper. You can smell the fear in his answer.

Bwaahaaahaaa! Steyn is delightful!

Please add me to your classical music ping list.

I’ve always wondered whether the rock ’n’ roll generation would grow up when it retired, but apparently they are doggedly taking their “music” with them, as illustrated by the empty headed people on the Ameriprise ads with the signature “Give Me Some A-Lovin’” intro. That crap might be playing in some nursing homes someday. Uggh.
