93yr old JOHN WILLIAMS on stage with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this week.
For millions of us he was the literally the soundtrack to our lives.
The day he finally becomes one with the Force, I for one will most certainly feel his cosmic energy morphing with huge sadness.

John Williams made an appearance on stage at the Boston Symphony Orchestra last night. This man deserves every bit of the love and adoration he gets.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Sometimes, an artist's legacy is borne not by his individual triumphs, but by the impact he has on the artists with whom he collaborates.
In the history of film music, composer and conductor Lionel Newman, born on this day (1916-1989) is one such man.

By all means, do share your decorating ideas, likely costing millions, while the American people are struggling to afford housing, food and health insurance.

The history of Hollywood's Golden Age is linked with the story of Europeans fleeing the rise of fascism in the 1930s. This is especially true for some of the film composers of that era. None more so than the great Franz Waxman, whose birthday we celebrate today (1906-1967).
