The other day my 10 year old girl asked me-“Why do some boys and men think it’s ok to say bad things about women?” The answer took some time
That was beautiful! You brought tears to my eyes. I have been listening to Prince’s music a lot since he died. That’s how I want to remember him, by what he did best.
A true genius. We will not see anyone like him again.
About his composition Passacaglia, which was introduced to me by my piano teacher in the 9th grade, because of my obsession with Rachmaninoff and Bach. She was attempting to teach me how to interpret and keep counter-melodies distinct while playing through all kinds of variations. (Not that I could manage Passacaglia!):
“Quite a number of Godowsky’s original works were considerably difficult to perform; the Passacaglia (which consists of 44 variations, cadenza and fugue on the opening theme of Franz Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony) was declared to be unplayable even by Vladimir Horowitz, who claimed it would require six hands to perform.”
a propos of nothing:
please please will all sane americans posting and reading here get out and lobby for hillary??
am not looking forward to nuclear armageddon if old fascist chops wins.
I am going to be volunteering for hillary’s campaign. My only concern is Sanders going on about a contested convention. The Democratic Party has to unite to defeat Trump!
There is no other option but to pull out all the stops to make sure that fascist Trump is not elected president!
good for you nny!!
the democrats have to unite as quickly as possible and focus on fascist donny. it’s not about idealism but pragmatism. politics isn’t just about voting for who you want but keeping bad people out.
i would campaign for hillary if i could!
i hope bernie will do the decent thing and rally his supporters around hillary.

Oh, glad you liked, amy. Don’t interrupt the sorrow from the hissing of summer lawns and pretty much the whole album is what I had been revisiting this spring.
Today on a bike ride I had: I care because you do by Aphex Twins – looping ‘Alberto Balsam’. Incredible sounds for the route. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihyQf8mww3o

I’ve forwarded to Benny.
He and Rafa enjoyed this. Made Rafa cry and it got his bandage all wet.
Nativenewyorker MARCH 29, 2016 AT 7:46 PM: “There is a person on this site who posts as Benny.”
Yes there is. NNY is very intelligent and makes great observations especially on tennis (unlike one poster who hasn’t made any).
However, I’m referring to another Benny, Rafa’s press agent. But you probably have never heard of him.
NNY,
Just to clarify, according to hawk AT 9:01 PM, he is referring to Benny known to him as benny@insidehawkhead.
Sarah Silverman nailed it…

Not always men either.

DJokovic is out from Monte Carlo Open in the second round. It’s quite disappointing. Though Quarter-finals are going on. All live action you can watch on our website: http://www.sportsmirchi.com/monte-carlo-rolex-masters-live-streaming/
R.I.P. Prince. Tragically young death. What a terrible year so far for deaths of brilliant creative people…
This photo of Prince was taken at Roland Garros in 2014 during Rafa’s R4 match against Lajovic:

great find
reportedly overdose…which contradicts his healthy style of living…he was vegan…
so sad…
Yes, this was terrible news to hear yesterday. Another music genius leaving us too soon.
I wanted less talk into yesterday and just to have them play his music. That’s the best way to remember him.
As for the why of it, I am waiting for the official autopsy results. But he is still dead no matter what the cause and nothing can bring him back.

The most powerful and breathtaking 20 minutes I’ve spent in a long time with Godowsky – highlights of Kohls vs Thiem Munich match made me go here:
