Today is Mozart's 250th birthday. Enjoy all things Mozart, Salzburg, classical, or prodigy. Pick your celebration. NPR's Talk of the Nation had a delightful show on Mozart's life. Listen in.
Me, I'm celebrating--in a state of shock--that when Brokeback Mountain went wide release, that included Beaumont, Texas. Yes, our one remaining movieplex in town (the other one is a victim of Rita) has four showings a day of the conflicted gay cowboy romance. I almost want to see the movie again in order to see who sees it. What's keeping me from doing that? Fear of homophobes. Not fear of their hurting or judging me, mind you, but fear of the deep sadness that comes over me when in the presence of hatred.
