I figured a little culture wouldn't kill ya. Besides, it's only a fraction of the whole piece, St. Matthew's Passion, by J.S. Bach

Stuff White People Like #108:
Appearing to enjoy Classical Music

Good stuff to enjoy at the link.
chris- directed to me?
Just anonachris pressing his snarky bona fides. Not aimed at you, I'm sure, Lawrence.
Lawrence, what would make you think I think you're white? And you didn't make the post. And I've been listening to classical music played on piano all day. And I've been to 2 separate world famous opera houses in the last 2 months. And I know how to laugh at myself. And I don't take blogs or blog comments too seriously. I'd I'm probably a prick in my commentating alter ego.
And seriously that link is classic!
"Though white people do not actually listen to classical music, they like to believe that they are the type of people who would enjoy it. You can witness this first hand by going to any classical performance at your local symphony where you will see literally dozens of white couples who have paid upwards of $80 for the right to dress up and sit in a chair for hours reading every word in the program."
As a full fledged program reader I certainly resemble that remark.
