If you're at all familiar with classical music, you may understand the title of this brief post, and be interested in checking out Google's homepage today! I posted about it on LOLbums, my other not-so-frequently updated blog. Reviving LOLbums (existential question: can you call it reviving a blog if there was only one post? hmmm...) is one of my goals this summer, along with applying for the Fulbright and Marshall scholarships, freelancing, exercising, playing my horn, curing cancer, and stopping the Earth from spinning on its access. At the moment, my activities more closely resemble playing with peanut sauce, going for long runs and getting lost, doing occasional research, and calling alums for money (hey, it's a legit job!) but let's not dwell on that.
Yes, this really is a police photo of Stravinsky! He was arrested in Boston in 1940 while conducting his arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner. Apparently he had broken an archaic law which made the reharmonization of the national anthem illegal. Methinks they just didn't like the arrangement, though. But who knows-- those policemen could have been classically trained!

Excellent title. And that's hilarious.
