And some of us here were accusing JOHN ADAMS of being repetitive!

Why do they have to play the tired old war horses of John Williams? I bet even he has grown weary of listening to his “Star Wars” for the one billionth time. However, if it were a choice between that or one of the compositions from, say, John Adams — which often remind me of the score of a scene in a film where someone is being stalked or about to be murdered — I’d either select the former or not even bother to attend.

But that wasn’t one of the options!

I’m a rebel that way. I also decided to text in my John Williams vote for the Superman theme.

OMG, how dare you? July 4 is the perfect opportunity to win more people over to classical music, not The Eagles.

Um, if that’s the case, then I’d like to change my fence-sitting vote to the last choice that castigates and reminds you of Independence Day.

We don’t allow fence-sitting here at Classical Life, CK.

Not THAT lame, but certainly nowhere near inspired, especially with a cover band instead of The Eagles.

For the 4th of July I want Sousa, etc. I want an old-fashioned 4th concert. Thus, I shall NOT be attending.

Shamelessly lame. In fact, nothing could be more…oh,wait… yep, there it is. The Tchaikowsky Spectacular”, coming in August. You know, the one with the obligatory performance of the “1812″ Overture. No summer pops concert could ever be quite as lame without it.
