Libertarian ping? It’s not US, though.

Thanks for the picture - it was in my mind while reading this article. I guess this is how you control a country of yobs? Who knew?

I think the same thing could be accomplished by playing Yoko Ono songs or some of those old yodeling cowboy songs (the song used against the Martians in the movie, “Mars Attacks”).

Gotta love that Ludwig Von.

One news report says some of the children who have endured this Mozart authoritarianism now find classical music unbearable.

When you use something as a punishment, people will learn to hate it.

Duh?

fascist architecture bump.

Really? My children love classical music. One of my favorite memories of my daughter is of being in a Taco Bell where classical music was playing and she was rocking out to it.

“Oh, it was gorgeosity and yumyumyum. When it came to the Scherzo I could viddy myself very clear running and running on like very light and mysterious nogas, carving the whole litso of the creeching world with my cut-throat britva, And there was the slow movement and the lovely last singing movement still to come. I was cured all right.”

First read it at the age of 15, which explains a lot, really. And that last paragraph, written above, has stayed with me for 30 years.

As they said in another British dystopia: “Be seeing you!”

I once did a science project on the affect of different kinds of music on plants. All my hard acid rock plants died.

Someone needs to remind Parliament that classic British dystopian novels were written as WARNINGS, not HOW-TO GUIDES.

[UCANSEE2]

Exactly.

This is one of Mozart's famous quotes about music:

"Passions, whether violent or not, must never be expressed in such a way as to disgust, and music must never offend the ear."

This article describes multiple methods Britain is attempting to use to control youth. In their rebellion, self-righteousness, ungodliness, and ignorance they are missing the method that works --- swift physical discipline. He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. (Prov 13:24)

Clockwork Orange anyone?

This from the place that produced Tallis, Byrd and Taverner. Proof they are now nothing more than a bunch of moronic boobs.

It is ironic that the treatment pictured in both the Burgess novel and the Kubrick film, resulted in a loss of taste for classical music

[TexasRepublic]

When the shock value of classical music wears off, they can try reading scripture over the speakers. Godless youth would find that very repelling.

...pop music worth listening to...

Ain't that the truth? The observation also applies to American pop music. What melody-free crap that is.
