Dole 11 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Apparently John Williams was part of a birthday salute to Senator Ted Kennedy at the Kennedy Center this weekend. I don't know anything more than the article says, but maybe someone else has more info about his involvement.Kennedy Salute article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,017 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Interesting to see Bill Cosby and John Williams talking to each other, they both looked like they were having fun. And Senator Kennedy has good tastes in music if he asked John Williams to conduct for him....John Williams on Ted Kennedy: "I have been conducting the Boston Pops since 1980, so that is quite a while, and I think I have known him for that long." Unfortunately, my hearing once again fails me, so I cannot transcribe the entire little interview, but the video is here:http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/pop...66&src=newsMore videos on Yahoo.com show John Williams' involvement in greater detail.

indy4 152 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I wasn't making some sort of political statement. He's celebrating a birthday of a friend who has a terminal disease!

Henry B 49 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Then please explain.Regardless of your political affiliation, I just think it's ridiculous to say that Williams conducting for somebody's party is "using his musical powers for good."
