One of my favorite Yo-Yo Ma clips for the history:


His Silk Road group is a pretty worthwhile listen.

Speaking of cellists, I asked my sister, who is a fairly well-known pianist in the American classical world, primarily working with solo singers and symphony/opera choruses, "where would you rank Yo-Yo Ma in the world as a cellist?"

Her response was two words:  "The top"

gets eviscerated for being tolerant and inclusive.

what a time to be alive.

Calling Baton Rouge is one the greatest songs in American history and I'll fight anyone who disagrees

Gave it a listen. For my taste, I prefer this fiddle song about a city in LA.

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are making all of the shittiest people big mad by calling for people to donate to Ukrainian refugees and now I am again rethinking my appreciation for his catalog, which I was previously lukewarm on. 
 

A representative tweet on how this landed with a chunk of the country audience:

 

 

Really facinating article in the New Yorker about political/social changes going on in Nashville and its impact on country music. I had no idea there was such a hard divide between radio-friendly bro country and I guess what I always associated with country music as Americana now. This is likely behind a paywall if you've already used up all the free articles access, but worth a read if you have access: COUNTRY MUSIC’S CULTURE WARS AND THE REMAKING OF NASHVILLE

 

It's mind-blowing to watch the allegedly anti-communist right supporting what is for all intents and purposes a communist country, masquerading as a capitalist "democracy".  Simulation, indeed.

You and I are both old enough to remember when the GOP fought the Kremlin, instead of getting marching orders from there.

But remember, it’s everyone else who is an easily offended snowflake.

It’s not that complicated. A democrat is in office so whatever the CIC supports, they’re against. They’re literally against anti-facsists and are triggered by the idea that Black Lives Matter. Ergo, pro Russia anti Ukraine.

it's sad to say this is a serious comment, but I hope Garth has armed security at his bar. I wouldn't go there if they didn't.

Yeah, it's a weird thing to look at that divide.  It's easy to wave it off as a bunch of people got older and feel like everybody should go fuck themselves.

If that's what you got out of the article you may want to reread it again.

So I'm looking at the lyrics to Jason Aldean's song about small towns, which I have not heard.  Nevertheless ... "cuss out a cop, spit in his face"  and "stomp on the flag"  .... was Aldean referring to this?
