Does EVERYBODY have to run around all butthurt over EVERYTHING?

I didn't take the NB commercial as the result of butthurt, just (to use a musical phrase) tooting their own horn, and worthily so.

True...they are great.

the children seen in the video are in fact not playing, but miming along to a performance by an adult orchestra who had purposely been playing the piece badly.

It would have been fun to be in the studio with the musicians making themselves stink.

Maybe they had more than one take: "OK performers, that was pretty bad but not bad enough, go ahead and make it worse"😜

I think that ad is targeting childless, work-from-home young leftists. That is apparently Infiniti’s target demo, and everyone that I have known that owns one fits it.

Back in the late 60’s, our high school band was top in the state. Every holiday that required a parade, mostly 4th of July, almost every town would have a parade with the local HS bands participating. We would stand along the main street watching it and some of the local high school bands were just horrible. Our high school band was exceptional, it was a joy to every ones ears to hear them come down the street. Our band director was meticulous. We also had great half time entertainment at all our home football games.
