A Rousing Song
When I was a boy, my parents took me to the Davies Symphony Hall to see Carmine Coppola perform his composition of the soundtrack to the 1927 film Napoleon, which have been painstakingly restored. I listened to the entire album countless times as a boy, and I just enjoyed it again as I was hacking my way through ticker.art tasks. Here’s one selection – – it’ll get your blood going!

It’s interesting to think back to when you first connected with a certain cultural artifact. It could be a musician, a band, a comic, a writer…………any person who creates. My love of Beethoven, for example, came from the unlikely source of watching A Clockwork Orange, which isn’t exactly considered a fundamental introduction to classical music. I got into Prokofiev by watching Woody Allen’s Love and Death. And so forth. We all have our different tales.
In the late 1980s, I regularly attended the Sick & Twisted Animation Festival, and the item below was one of the entries. That’s all it took to get me into Was Not Was. Enjoy!
