🎭 Oh no, the high-brow brigade is packing up their #opera capes and #leaving the #Kennedy Center! Apparently, even the dulcet tones of 'Carmen' couldn't compete with the allure of whitelisting #ad #blockers. 😏🖱️

Washington National Opera Is Leaving the Kennedy Center

The opera, which has performed at the arts center since 1971, was concerned about declines in attendance and donations during President Trump’s second term.

Donkey said: "It is saturday?"
"Neigh" replied the horse.
Donkey said: "what day is then?"
The horse looked at him and walked away...
A murder of crows attacked the donkey and picked at his eyes till there were no more.
"What have I done to deserve this?!" screamed the donkey.
And the wise owl, that was watching from the nearby tree replied: "you know that horses don't talk. but it is saturday."
And the horse and the wise owl lived happily ever after. 2/2

Yesterday my Western Art #Music class had a lovely discussion about #highbrow #middlebrow and #lowbrow culture. They decided that the categories were artifacts of a different culture; that technologies of access nowadays render that structure obsolete. That the 20th century had backwards and Eurocentric notions of privilege and “the intellectual” in music, and that “niche” was a fairer category than “highbrow”

The class remained divided on whether Taylor Swift could be considered highbrow :-)
