Just where is Althouse going with this? I wondered.

And then she sticks us with high brow. Oh well.; 7/16/08, 10:45 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Just picture them all in thongs. It will ease your anxieties.; 7/16/08, 10:59 PM

Ps: Terrible music IMHO! Such is life. Where's Benny Goodman or Buddy Holly, now that's music.; 7/16/08, 11:22 PM

Ann Althouse said...: Yeah, I have a Flip camera, and wish I'd had it with me, but I didn't. Hence the jerkiness. Whatever. We just happened on this scene on a walk. These concerts have been popular for years, and I have always avoided them.; 7/16/08, 11:30 PM
saintrussell said...: The music is Kol Nidrei, by Max Bruch. What's so bad about it? I think it's a rather fine piece.; 7/17/08, 12:33 AM
Godot said...: A perfectly lovely American scene. But so filled with plastic tarps, containers and polyester clothes. They better be careful who they vote for.; 7/17/08, 1:08 AM
MadisonMan said...: How lucky that the gust front came through to take the heat off.

I also have never been to a Concert on the Square. Too crowded, too buggy.; 7/17/08, 7:26 AM

IgnatzEsq said...: Ann and MadisonMan, any excuse in the summer to have wine and cheese outside in a public area is worth doing. Just don't try to park anywhere near it.; 7/17/08, 12:00 PM
vbspurs said...: Wow, never have so many pasty white people been reunited in the same place at the same time, wearing such odd-looking garments, since the last Royal Enclosure at Ascot.

Cheers,

The horror, the horror...; 7/17/08, 8:33 PM
Moose said...: I'd rather spend the evenings in the summer on my back deck, watching the hummingbirds fight over the feeder.

Sort of a John Cage themed concert.; 7/17/08, 8:34 PM
