This is a really interesting article that highlights a bunch of different issues. However the takeaway for me was, appreciate art and beauty wherever it may be. The premise: Take a famous world class musician, with a historically famous and sonically superior instrument, place them at a subway station, and see what happens.

The obligatory first post on what all the subsequent posts should be about
Most new blogs start out in one of two ways - There's the "More later", and then no posts ever after. Or there's the manifesto of sorts that says what topics will be addressed and in what manner they'll be pursued. Perhaps if you're lucky, it'll also include a brief statement on why the person is qualified to do so.
This strikes me as something Jor-El, the Marlon Brando father of Superman would do. A whole little statement on who he was, and why he's the guy Clark should spend the next ten years with to learn about the Universe.
So essentially... I want to be your Jor-El. I'm not really your father. I'm not really qualified to do much of anything. But hey.. I like to mock, and mocking is what it's all about.
