In praise of the Beeb; Anti-war slogans for the classical music Crowd

[DoreneFC at aol.com]

One local public radio station has THANKFULLY switched from NPR to the BBC 
for quite a bit of its war coverage. Advantages of that: reports of big 
anti-war demonstrations in Greece, Indonesia, London. Plus even if the 
imbedded reporter really has no clue about anything, they say so more 
succinctly than Americans in that fabulous British accent.

And local classical music station response: they decided to interrupt regular 
programming only for matters of urgent local concern, not just interrupt the 
music for every spasm of propaganda and fearmongering emitted from the 
current "Bombing for Disarmament" exercise.

This pleasant sanctuary of escapism and respite made me think of several 
kicky and offbeat topcial slogans.

Brahms, not Bombs!

Music, not Mayhem!

Prokofiev, not Pre-emption!
