for a minute - i was going to check my stacks of music to see if anything was missing.  occasionally - i have feared that someone stole something or other - but end up finding it a year later placed under or behind something.

say - did you hear recently about the lady who kissed a completely blank white canvas in an important art museum and had to pay a two thousand dollar fine for damaging the canvas and leaving a 'kiss mark.'  she said that she did it out of love.

I've actually got a ticket to go and see Prometeo at the Southbank Centre next May. I've never heard it, but it sounds fascinating. I'm rather excited. Has anyone here had a listen? Or were those stolen cds the only recording?

I am listening to Prometeo right now. So far, its a pretty enjoyable piece, with some wonderful instrumental and choral effects. I envy you for being able to see it! The CD I have is on the EMI label, so it should be rather easy to get.

I might check it out, but I may just wait. It sounds like it's going to be quite an experience. I wouldn't be surprised if the performers outnumber the audience!

Stealing is a nono. 

I suppose he needs 800 of them in case he wants to listen more than once.

Sounds like excellent publicity to me.

This is extremely funny! Nono, not exactly your everyday music.
