I figured her for an Ice T fan. Shut Up, Be Happy and the Girl Tried to Kill Me seem right.

At first I thought she was talking about "Acid Queen" by Tina Turner from the rock opera Tommy.

She also got Hamas elected and is allowing a modern-day Nazi regime to build nuclear weapons to destroy our country while she debates at the U.N.

She is a pathetic failure as is her boss.

Beethoven's 7th?

Okay. But I prefer the 9th and the 5th. Then the 3rd.

Still it's an eclectic list and I admire her willingness to set out her choices. I couldn't do the same.

The list wasn't that much of an acid list.

By your album choice, is Rice a "crazy diamond" or are you "welcoming her to the machine?"

Mozart: Piano Concerto #20 in D minor, K. 466

For years, before LP's, #20 was known as "the" Mozart piano concerto. Many thought he had written no others. It's a bit different from his other 26 piano concertos, the vehemence almost Beethovenian in the first movement. I've tended to see it as a warmup for the Requiem.

Brahms: Piano Concerto #2 in B-flat, Op. 83

The first concerto was something of a musical shipwreck and took a while to work its way into the repertory. The second is a masterpiece. However, its construction is a bit unusual. It's cast in 4 movements, rather than the traditional 3. Clara Schumann referred to it, tongue-in-cheek, as a "symphony for piano". The finale looks backward to Mozart, specifically to the #27 concerto.

Brahms: Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34

A magnificent chamber work for piano, 2 violins, viola and cello, although the piano tends to dominate. It's an undisputed masterpiece, and I enjoy listening to it and following along with the score. The second movement is rhythmically tricky, and I have to count "one-and-two-and-three-and-" or else I get lost.

Beethoven: Symphony #7 in A, Op. 92

I prefer #9, but #7 is my second favorite. Roger Norrington's recording observes Beethoven's metronome markings, and the finale is absolutely hair-raising. At the posted speed, incidentally, the second movement is not a dirge; in fact, it's not really slow at all.

Mussorgsky: Boris Godunov

The woman is hard core. Russian opera doesn't travel well, and there are a lot of operas I'd rather listen to. She's one serious lady.

8. Elton John 'Rocket Man' "It brings back memories of college, friends, my first boyfriend."

How so, I wonder? Hmmm?
