["Todd Morman" <tmorman AT nc.rr.com>]

Anyone else see the letter in today's N&O complaining about Newman's 
"crudeness" at the symphony last month? 
(http://www.newsobserver.com/opinion/letters/story/2806410p-9250051c.html) I 
saw the Sunday matinee and loved it; getting a chance to hear live versions 
of Newman's beautifully orchestrated tunes was a real treat, and his 
conducting of a few film score excerpts really got me thinking again about 
classical music (or at least soundtrack music). He cussed a few times, as I 
recall, a "shit" or two and maybe one teensy "fuck," but I'm curious if he 
did anything more "crude" than that on Friday night. I've been told that 
about 20 folks walked out on him early on, but it's not clear whether the 
cause was the cussing or not getting that "Short People" was satire.

Anyway, it was a great show; the 2nd set had tons of really poignant and 
beautiful moments. Anyone who liked it too might want to consider sending a 
letter to show support for the idea of the NC Symphony occasionally untucking 
its shirt and taking a chance on someone with some bite to them. I mean, have 
you seen the rest of the Pops schedule?

Pretty standard stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with reaching out for 
the familiar in a "Pops" series, but they do seem to have taken a bit of a 
chance with Newman as the season opener, and that kind of thing really ought 
to be encouraged.

these cats played the garage in winston-salem on thursday and fundamentally 
and foundationally rocked the house.  if you've never seen them live, go!!!! 
for real.  it will blast your senses into a state of clarity and your mind 
into a state of peace.  the world would be a better place if everyone 
listened to a fir ju well.
