Have You Heard the Good News?

I think you guys should re-enact the Les Humphries video during your protest, if only because it's so freakin' awesome.

So glad you guys are going forward with this. I hope you can get the leaders of the companies going in your new symphony space involved as well. My only advice would be to strike while the iron's hot. I think you can get national attention for your cause, but only if it's done while the issue is still considered current news.

And your question is, of course, the one everyone's asking. I'll do another post on this topic and see what answers we can get. In the meantime, please keep me posted on your progress!

Hello Wendy,

Thanks for hipping me to Les Humphries Singers. I haven't been able to stop my consumption of this fine German export. I finally had a long discussion with Mr. Horsley about his feelings toward protest. He told me that the 1st amendment was very important to him and we should do what ever we want regardless of what he thinks. - Awesome.

We (performers) are planning a public protest involving artists from the music and dance community. We may be a bit pokey as we're rehearsing and trying to make a living.

There is much discussion on moving beyond The Star to other privately funded publications to keep serious criticism alive here in Kansas City. Although obvious conflicts of interest always seem to arise. How have other cities dealt with this issue? Million dollar question - How does a community retain professional criticism this new era.

Thank you for your advice and ideas. I hope this will be a long and fruitful dialogue.

regards,

Beau
