Happy Birthday, Wolfie Mo
Today is Mozart's birthday. So in celebration......
Once upon a time, during the 1991 Mozart Bicentennial, the Mozarteum decided to open its vaults and archives to the general public. It went without saying that a great number of tourists, scholars, music lovers and Mozart affectionados took all of the guided tours.
As one very young man and his parents were passing through the hallowed halls, the tour guide actually took them into an inner sanctum where teams of archaeologists and anthropologists were furiously busy constructing clay and plaster likenesses of the great WAM, with varying degrees of success.
"Those are pretty good!" The very young man exclaimed.
"Yes," the tour guide nodded proudly. "They are based on castings made from a skull believed to be mozart's. You an see the skull for yourself, under the glass case."
The battered, pitiful skull looked dolefully back at them from under a brass name plate, which had been firmly nailed into the cranium. What was even more curious was the even smaler skull beside it.
"Whose skull is that?" The very young man asked.
"Oh, that one is the skull of Mozart as a child."

Music is Good for the Brain
I found this segment of Jon Stewart very interesting.
So those last two posts were good for our brains. It's scientific.

Colbert Dances
This is actually one of my favorite songs, despite Colbert's rendition of it. Colbert has described himself as Catholic. I might conjecture Charismatic Catholic? Is that what dancing in the Spirit looks like?
The actual lyrics are as follows:
Refrain: The King of glory comes, the nation rejoices. Open the gates before him, lift up your voices.
1. Who is the King of glory; how shall we call him? He is Emmanuel, the promised of ages.
2. In all of Galilee, in city or village, He goes among his people curing their illness.
3. Sing then of David's Son, our Savior and brother; in all of Galilee was never another.
4. He gave his life for us, the pledge of salvation, He took upon himself the sins of the nation.
5. He conquered sin and death; he truly has risen, and he will share with us his heavenly vision.
Still, I had fun watching Colbert jump around. How about you?
