the intersection of the law and music, or, on a soap box

this led me to this. in 1995, an up and coming young violinist was exiting a chicago train and her $500,000 amati violin was caught in the door. a 'second-check' of any lingering passengers was not completed by the train conductors. rachel tried to hold on to her violin, hoping that the doors would open so that she could retrieve her instrument

true! despite my overwhelmingly utilitarian leanings. often i feel guilty about spending money on a new poster/cd/art supplies instead of, say, food or clothing that is useful. but then i realize how shitty life is without the "transfiguring" art object. i have to remind myself by reading 'The Birth of Tragedy' every once in a while. and again you write beautifully!
