I’ve been attending the Boston Symphony every week. You can stand in line for eight dollar “rush” tickets. The last two weeks were all-Schoenberg programs. This week was Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony followed by Beethoven’s 9th. I made the mistake of not leaving after intermission. The first three movements of the Beethoven are OK, but then at the end a big chorus comes out and starts singing a bunch of stupid lies about how all mankind are brothers. Well I’m not all mankind’s fucking brother and they’re not mine. Mankind can fuck off! Mankind should pay me eight dollars to listen to such garbage...
