Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Sorry in advance to anyone who loses their breakfast.

The same two things that once kept a terrible show named "Wonder Woman" on the air: those things which held up WW's costume. :^)

I don't know if there are any classical music lovers aboot, but
here's an article by Terry Teachout (it took a while to load the page) about Toscanini, whose expressed opinion of Mahler's music is temerarious, and ignorant, too. At his best, he was a great conductor, but I don't care for the way he'd sometimes change the composer's orchestrations to streamline the music, and some of his performances are 'WAY too streamlined. He could be awfully mean to his players, too, but I suppose that's how you get those slick performances. Oh, well, orchestra members (who in most orchestras don't get paid well) are now protected by lots of lovely union rules.
