I wanted to tell you how envious I am of your opera-drenched childhood. My first exposure was at 36 years of age. I saw Turandot at the Met in New York. I knew nothing at the time, but later that year I moved to Rome and spent the next 10 years as a passionate opera-goer. I made friends with a couple people who were life-long fans, we went frequently to the Rome Opera house as well as more amateur performances. They were beautiful days. After that family, work, life in general interfered. I re-expanded my musical interests to include other things, especially the rock and roll I had loved as a teenager and a 20 something ne'er do well. Is music great, or what?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-59289409266217756912009-04-04T21:54:00.000+02:002009-04-04T21:54:00.000+02:00Ok, so maybe you are just randomly deleting commen...Ok, so maybe you are just randomly deleting comments after all!<BR/><BR/>Why bother with a policy in the first place if it has no meaning?Weer'd Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528978001340070552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-564686174414161372009-04-03T17:01:00.000+02:002009-04-03T17:01:00.000+02:00Weer,d, Mud's comment wasn't even close to being r...Weer,d, Mud's comment wasn't even close to being rejected, nor was Bob's first one in which he sarcastically said I was being ironic.

Which by the way, why is it a common tendency for you anti-freedom, pro-ignorance gun banners to suggest people break the law?<BR/><BR/>Is it because you don't see the law as something to follow, but just as a guideline? Something to obey when you feel like it?<BR/><BR/>MikeB suggested on another blog that if he lived in NYC and rode the subway that he might go armed.<BR/>And didn't MikeB also state elsewhere that he carried legally and illegally when he lived in the USA?<BR/><BR/>See, some of us don't view the law that way. If we don't like the law, we aren't free to violate it at will - we change the law.<BR/><BR/>That way, we have our freedom and obey the law. <BR/><BR/>You act like a little child that hasn't grown up yet Mud. Wanting to be included in the adult's conversation but every time you open your mouth, you show your immaturity.Bob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882819735831651314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-18682806916182215352009-04-02T15:04:00.000+02:002009-04-02T15:04:00.000+02:00Poor Bob, everybody's always taking away his 'free...Poor Bob, everybody's always taking away his 'freedom.' I know a grand adventure for Bob and his pro-gun buddies- Somalia! There they will find FULL gun-toting freedom and a pirate's bounty as well!<BR/><BR/>Just bring some black face paint and your arsenal of weapons and have a go at the pirate's life. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to capture a Saudi tanker and then you'll have enough oil to last a lifetime.mud_rakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786611698569598023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-38044689857954945602009-04-02T13:22:00.000+02:002009-04-02T13:22:00.000+02:00Fabulous, my father was a proper tenor and sang op...Fabulous, my father was a proper tenor and sang opera professionaly and as an amateur. I was raised listening to opera...<BR/>I think I genetically inherited his voice, but destroyed it by singing (screaming) punk rock for 17 years, of course, that doesn't stop me now...That's one of the joys of not having neighbors!<BR/><BR/>Mozart was brilliant, revolutionary and in my mind, timeless. I keep hearing pieces of his operas and having a flash of inspiration of rearranging it to create Mozart Heavy Metal or Punk...or much more realistic. Mozart as hip-hop....<BR/><BR/>Viva La Liberta!microdothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564820031343630871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-6367866012463906832009-04-02T12:27:00.000+02:002009-04-02T12:27:00.000+02:00How IRONIC,Let Freedom Reign.....yet you want to t...How IRONIC,<BR/><BR/>Let Freedom Reign.....yet you want to take away people's freedoms.Bob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882819735831651314noreply@blogger.com
