 This is so awesome, I had to post it. So, this picture was taken on the lower level parking lot of the Lucky Bldg. on the UW Madison campus. Instead of George Washington’s face showing up on their images of money, it was Mozart’s?! HAHAHA! Several people were laughing while I was taking these . . . → Read More: Mozart on the Dollar Bill?

Today, the wonderful genius of music history, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, turns 255. Wow! I know, I know… I’m in love with a guy that’s been dead for centuries. But I’m sure there are other weirdos that can back up my obsession, right? Long Live Motzie!!! . . . → Read More: Happy 255th Birthday! Okay, I know this is a little obscure, but hear me out.

I mean he’s got the look and the attitude down! I liked Gary Oldman as Beethoven, but Colin Firth would have been perfect. Anyways, Mr. Firth seems to have been typecast as Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice and Bridget Jones’ Diary. . . . → Read More: Beethoven: The New Mr. Darcy? How perfect are these pictures? They even have the same Napoleonesque body language. Here are some pictures of the opera maestro, Giuseppi Verdi, and Mr. Viggo Mortensen of the Lord of the Rings fame. Seriously, why isn’t Viggo playing Verdi in a movie somewhere? This needs to happen soon…what do you think? . . . → Read More: Verdi: Viggo Mortensen Look-Alike? Come on! The face, the little eyes, and the glasses! He’s Harry Potter’s body double. What do you think? Beethoven’s musical legacy, especially his symphonic music, has absolutely revolutionized the history of music. He was a powerful force to be reckoned with and his musical descendants felt the pressure of their looming predecessor. Even though dear Ludwig may have had an unbearable personality…was he a hottie? . . . → Read More: Beethoven: Hot or Not? Ellen Taaffe Zwilich is the first female composer to have received a Pulitzer Prize for Music. Her atonal music has inspired a generation of new composers. What we all want to know is…is she hot? |
