A gathering radio outreach is to claim a very important person selected,
actually the word used is "conducted," the following music, then restate 
the attribution before each play. Today I heard the Wash DC classical 
music station claim Senator Byrd conducted such and such, one by
Beethoven another by Leonard Bernstein playing Hoagy Carmichael
or was it Rogers and Hammerstein, perhaps Winston Marsalis, well,
hard to believe a southern Byrd would conduct Marsalis, Satchmo,
sure, but not a high yellow uppity -- is high yellow racist?, sorry then -- 
the birdman spiel was attention getting, I thought for a moment there
was a true conductor who stole the senator's brand to get air-tiume,
still, the brazen celebrity sampling was swell, or is this plagiarism by 
attributable conductor, but then all conductors plagiarize in their
odious preening, brow sweating, tux tails aflight, cut curls a bouncing
-- seen a cueball bandleader lately, did you know Yanni is shaved bald
for the wig to stick during his wiggle -- not to say bald-faced lying radio 
stations, call them media, hard to swallow that antique roadshow crap,
talk-trash-rap, hell why not tell a tall one as if a rare antique assayed on
fund-raising road trip, all artists are cultural thieves, else the art is not
serious art, but if not true art whose to say in absolutely original opine,
think guerilla grrls gone wild tape.

Being in Virginia is intoxicating, the passion aroma of national security 
writhing, bedfellow contracts flowing, everybody hot for the old endless 
wars culture. Just you wait for high culture to return artists to the
pinnacles of the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, etc. Wanna tip on
what US Veep put a Halliburted Guernica in Site R?
