Figo 2 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Just aired the Boston Pops recording of Born on the Fourth of July for Memorial Day weekend. (I know, wrong holiday, but it's elegiac and anti-war.) Anyone else ever notice the bird "obliggato?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam 1 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I like the music to Born on the Fourth of July but I don't understand the topic, bird "obligatto". Can somebody explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 2 Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 I reiterate: listen in a quiet room or through headphones. Youth today. Everyone expects to be spoonfed.Our culture = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam 1 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Wow, I had no idea my question would be powerful enough to inspire commentary about the decline of Western culture. Your first presumption seems to be that your riddle is worthy of the time that it would take people to investigate. Your second presumption seems to be that you’re doing us a favor - we’ll be overwhelmed by a powerful sense of discovery, no doubt. A third presumption is that anybody who does the logical thing, and asks what you’re talking about is “young”. A fourth presumption is that young people deserve to be lumped together and given your scorn and condescension. But its not a big deal - I don't have to know. Maybe next time I listen to it I'll remember to watch for that.- Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orrakul 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I think that Adam's original question was appropriate. A polite answer would be appreciated. There's a difference between wanting to be spoonfed, and simply wanting to understand an obscure post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 even I don't get the reference, the Birds had no score, maybe thats the point!Joe, whose copy of BOTFOJ is now probably one with the dust, and its no great loss either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figo 2 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Since this is the third time I have to say it, I'll employ the quote function.Listen in a quiet room or through headphones.What is it that's so hard to understand?Adam's right, though, it's hardly worth it. Merely an observation. I'll think twice before unnecessarily taxing everyone in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
