Well hello there luvvies - allow me to SLIP into NICK HARVEY mode for a moment whilst I tell YOU a story...
Just yesterday, back home for my Christmas holiday from uni, I was forced to take a bus full of schoolchildren home (I like how I phrased that so I'll keep it). One of the year 8 girls (estimated) behind me made a flippant reference to Mozart. Their conversation then steered onto "WHO'S MOZART"?!
HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW THAT?!
So I'm starting a poll here, and be honest - had you at least heard of Mozart in a musical context when you were that age? I'm a bit gutted about standards I must say!
And yes, I set them straight very politely. They called me rude.
And no matter what The Sun tells you, I am not a paedophile.
Kids today, honestly...
There were two Mozarts, W.A. Mozart and L. Mozart, who composed the 'Toy Symphony', basically a jaunty little ditty reinforced by having lots of silly 'cuckoo' noises and things through it.
In Monty Python, Mozart was a rat catcher! There was two Strauss's as well weren't there?
I did find it a bit incredible that when John Peel died, my girlfriend asked... "Who's John Peel?" She still bought me his biography for Christmas mind you.

"That one!"
My computer (specifically Microsoft Word) has decided to take the liberty of, whenever I type "ts", corrrecting it to "The Sun" (with capital letters, of course). It appears to have adopted a severe case of Murdochism.Sput wrote:And no matter what The Sun tells you, I am not a paedophile.
Perhaps I should tell it the story about the computer that had no motherboard.
Mozart used to live rough near me
well actually it was a tramp who had an ear missing
