Pachelbel Rant

Kevin sent me this. I’m sure it’s not new to many of you, but felt it necessary to post it here for your enjoyment. This is a performance by comedian/musician Rob Paravonian at Penn State University. Simply brilliant musical commentary.

When Good Music Goes Bad

This May a fight broke out at a Boston Pops concert. I worked for the Pops (and BSO) as an usher while in college and I know for sure we were never trained in how to deal with this. One TV station ran it with the headline, “Boston Popped”. Having lived in Boston, this could have been a fight that broke out over something as simple as a discussion on who was a better college quarterback, Tom Brady or Doug Flutie.

I once went to a series of fights at Fenway Park (a baseball game happened to be going on as well) where to make it a more enjoyable time for all, one section decided to yell “Tastes great!” and another section would yell back, “Less filling!” As they tried to outshout each other, it quickly degraded into “Eat sh@#!”, and the other section responding, “F#@$ You!”

…good times.

Here’s Jimmy Kimmel’s take…very funny (my favorite…”It’s a viola!”)
