Listening to Bee- htoven's 5th symphony conducted by Simon Rattle and the Vienna Phil- harmonic. It drives me to dance!
Old, non-rythmic, me!--which is to say that it works miracles in the hearts, souls, and bodies of those who experience it. It's the most amazing version of this ubiquitous work of classicial music ever recorded.
It's so powerful, that my first instinct -- that every elementary school child in America should be exposed to it as part of their curriclulum -- was tempered by the fact that if fully absorbed in their innocent minds, it would drive them insane, and therefore ought better be banned! Kanye West has NOTHING over Ludwig von Beethoven! Believe it!
