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.
