People have a right to do that. Infact that should be an automatic option when somebody is deleting their account - that all their posts can be deleted also - save for quoted posts which cannot be deleted. The right to be be forgotten is an important right. People's careers and lives are ruined by something someone posted somewhere on the internet. So people definitely should have the right of deleting posts. Marian Schedenig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myth is what happens before history, or is the author of history, and it teaches us how to think and we all respond to a common mythology, to find similar stories in Chinese mythology, for example, and African mythology. And this common thread permeates the films" "Reading is enormously important, for inspiration and creation of music. There is more music to be found in poetry and in the quiet contemplation of nature, than in studying music itself." "Whatever we write, in prose or poetry, there is some individual identity that goes with the work; it's inescapable. We're still at the core what we have always been. Everything we do reflects our character, background, training, and what we write manifests these things." This is an incredible interview!!! apples, Will and crumbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Finally got time to listen to this on Thursday! Wonderful to hear JW and Dudamel. Lovely introduction to the Beethoven & Mozart pieces also, which I'd actually never heard before. The Jupiter symphony has now become one of my favorite classical pieces! I'm glad to hear JW echo the interviewer's characterization of his film scoring as being "on pause." Although that doesn't necessarily mean he has any projects lined up right now, it would seem to indicate that, at the very least, JW hasn't yet made a decision to retire from film scoring, and is still open to future projects (perhaps Spielberg films after West Side Story). Looking forward to the violin concerto and Vienna fanfare, the latter of which is a nice surprise and a tremendous honor for JW! (although I do fear that we will be stuck with cellphone videos, at best, for one or both of those) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
