Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2017 Haha! It's not even an exclusive deal for the whole state, just "southwest Michigan." Such a shame for the hundreds of other orchestras in southwest Michigan that could put on concerts of this scope.... I like to think this is part of an ongoing feud with the Grand Rapids Symphony.

Even I didn't know that. Wikipedia has this to say about Fugging though: Its name was later changed from Fucking to Fugging for an unknown reason by 1836.
