If it wasn’t punkfloyd, it would have been another reason.

They would have used some other excuse if not Floyd, but I hear ya. They have no tolerance for dissent.

Trade in your French horn for a gun and ammo. It’s on.

BigEdLB, me as well. I have pulled off of social media platforms or limited my postings to non-topics. Quite likely I will withdraw further as well. The growth of the Cancel Culture and Shaming Culture simply do not make the risk worthwhile.

I feel for you. I have a similar situation with FB and website, etc. We do not stray from the product. Luckily no one asks my opinion, otherwise I would have to tell them.

I will say that there are two movies going on. The Left sees one movIe and we see another. Wow!

Sorry; but your ‘rant’ leaves me wondering Why in the world a ‘serious musician’ is on Facebook and Instagram.

It seems to me that engagement there just cheapens you and makes you common.

The straw for me is the pulling down the statue of Christopher Columbus. That’s just Stalinesque! Destroying art. As far as the movie, “Gone With the Wind,” that’s just talk, like defunding the police. All talk. But pulling down a statue and nobody even attempting to stop them!

I have to keep so totally silent as to how I feel about the totalitarian nonsense that is championed by my “friends” on Facebook and Instagram.

Perhaps you could do so anonymously just as you've done here? You could even rub it in a little (just don't do it from any of your accounts or devices).

“A shooting civil war”

Would it be the black massas versus the white slaves?

I understand. As you know the Leningrad Symphony “focus” changed after Stalin died.

At this point I only post pictures of my cat on Facebook and ignore everything else.

Thanks for mentioning Shostakovich. Easily my favorite 20th century composer.

I am a creative artist-a composer of serious music.

As opposed to un-serious music.

Pretentious!
