I am from Venus.
We prefer the adjective “Venusian” rather than the less-than-complimentary “Venereal”.
Just Sayin’
Like most - Saturn
I started getting better right after i notified the prayer warriors of my illness.
Funny, that.
The producers of “Smallville” liked Schubert and picked two pieces of his, one used as a running gag, and the other used once.
Planet COFFEE for me.
Schubert!
NICE!
The producers of “Gotham” used an obscure Dvorak piece in the ballroom scene last week.
Its a burn a hundred cars tonight kind of night!!
And its not even France! :-)

![]() You love playing sports...nononononono!!... and being in the middle of all of the action. You're independent, courageous, and brave. You aren't afraid to do things your way. As Mars, you can be reckless, quick tempered, and a little too spontaneous. So think before you act - and resist your natural urges to dominate others. |
Interestingly enough, most kids movies are now using really old rock and roll as the theme in their movies. I have a special-needs student who is addicted to movie trailers on You-Tube and likes the songs. Here are just a few:
Ninja Turtles Movie (Happy Together by the Turtles)
The Boxtrolls(She’s So Square by Buddy Holly)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty(Space oddity by David Bowie)
And, of course, “The Ride of the Valkyries” shows up frequently! Mostly in the monster Movies.
Indeed...very, very depressing and disgusting.
We HAVE no leaders. NO one is in charge. I feel for that city.

I love Dvorak!
I have to stick a “J” in his name so the kids pronounce it correctly. I have also simplified “Going Home’ so the kids can play it.
An eight year old boy student of mine entered his talent show at school after only one month with me and played a medly of “Ode to Joy, Going Home, and Turkish March.
He won.
Hello!
I am from the planet Melmac.
Not too many have heard of Dvorak’s Serenade for Strings in E, Op. 22. It’s an early piece, but the waltz (second movement) was used in “Gotham”.
It is interesting that the movies and TV use old music...probably so they don’t have to pay a composer to write NEW music.
Then, when they use CGI, they put the animators and FX artists out of business.
I love hearing old music in the movies, but that of course means that new music isn’t being written, or paid for.
Even writers of new music such as John Williams blatantly rip off old music. The score for “Star Wars” alone is guilty of grand theft.
Oh I am sure of that! LOL!
