For all the self-congratulating going on in some corners of the SPCO over the return of Coppock, I find it quite disquieting to have him return. Yes, it will be of great assistance to have somebody at the helm who knows the organization well, but the problems that came to a head this season can largely be laid at the feet of Mr. Coppock. His policies diluted the artistic center of the orchestra by jettisoning the artistic director for a loose collection of "artistic partners," who have no...
I don't expect to be more eloquent than the commentators who already contributed their observations in response to this article. I'm writing because it's important for the authors of the above article (and those they speak for) to simply hear from one more person who is disgusted by MOA's behaviors in this horrible situation THEY have created. It seems obvious that if circumstances are as dire as they maintain, the best way to respond is to call EVERYBODY to the table, completely and...
This entire flurry of activity to force this boondoggle down our throats has infuriated me because so many people simply, easily, willingly "drank the Kool-Aid" of fear that the Vikings served up with the NFL's recent lobbying visit to MN. MinnPost clearly stated the financial facts and pointed out the formidable problems that would ensue if the Vikings were to leave MN. What they are going to be paying into this stadium is chump change compared to what it would cost for them to follow...
I was actually rather fascinated to hear Ms. Clayburg speak of the importance of appealing directly to individuals rather than try to go through the traditional, old-school media outlets. These days I actually glean very little useful information from those traditional, old-school media outlets, and find it ever-more impossible to share information to my own constituencies through those same media outlets. We are all being encouraged to work directly through "new media" as a more effective...
I believe you've mis-identified the first picture: The female looks an awful lot like Brenda Harris.
Thank you Mr. Schulze for the calmest, most comprehensive, and clearest description of the situation with our utterly broken health care delivery system I've ever seen. Let me throw in some of my own experience with the greatly-feared "end of life" rationing: My dad passed away at almost 89 years of age. He was dealing with a congestive heart failure diagnosis for several years, and so 4 months before he passed, when his heart stopped beating for almost one minute and miraculously...
Did anybody else notice that the big-time new stadium being built in L.A. is PRIVATELY FUNDED?! There is absolutely no reason for citizens to fork over money to support a business owned by and supporting millionaire employees (even more so in our current economy). The party line is that the public always pays for stadiums. This simply is not true, and it would be the ultimate irony if in fact the Vikings packed up and moved to California, into a stadium that was privately funded.
This remarkable film is a call to action for ALL of us. It is essential for ALL of us to contact ALL of our government representatives, share a link to the film & its website, and demand that they do the right thing, the essential thing to protect what is still left of our economy and opportunities for health care in this country.
Thank you for bringing Royko into the story -- I've been missing him terribly during all of this. I believe he was the one who translated the motto of the city of Chicago as "Where's Mine?"
YES!! It has been a desperate time for people looking for discourse in the arts. Thank you for endeavoring to provide just such a place.
