Classical music review: Amazing all-Wagner DSO concert, including “Walkure,” Act 1

In his first Meyerson Symphony Center concert after the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s triumphant European tour, music director Jaap van Zweden again had the orchestra playing with amazing electricity and elegance Friday night. The all-Wagner program marked the bicentenary of probably the most influential composer—either admired or detestedof the second half of the 19th century.

Wagner’s musical innovations were certainly displayed: long, sometimes meandering phrases; fluid, elusive harmonies; continuous vocal writing, no longer clearly separating recitative and aria; dramatic coloring and massing of orchestral sound.

The program’s second half was a concert performance of Act One of Die Walküre, the second of the four Ring operas, presented with English supertitles. As a sto

Nice Guys VS Fighters

    So, last week Alan wrote an interesting blog about why nice guys finish last. It got me thinking, why is it so? So I guess today is going to my point of view of what I hope an average girl feels about this infamous saying, Nice guys finish last.

    I honestly think the saying is silly. It justifies nice guys to NOT actively pursue and get the girl they want, and just sort of… wait around for a rare opportunity. I feel that when it comes to love and relationships, you should do anything possible to get what you want because apart from food and sleeping in on a Saturday morning, your significant other should be something that makes your life better from every direction.

    If you didnt read Alans blog he made a good point which I completely agree with, the “Nice guys finish last” saying basically implies (between the lines) that douche-bags do come first! This

‘Fifty Shades’ makes list of challenged books

NEW YORK — Here’s a list “Fifty Shades of Grey” was destined to make: The books most likely to be removed from school and library shelves.

On Monday, E L James’ multimillion selling erotic trilogy placed No. 4 on the American Library Association’s annual study of “challenged books,” works subject to complaints from parents, educators and other members of the public. The objections: Offensive language, and, of course, graphic sexual content.

No. 1 was a not a story of the bedroom, but the bathroom, Dav Pilkey’s “Captain Underpants” books (Offensive language, unsuited for age group), followed by Sherman Alexie’s prize-winning “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” (Offensive language, racism, sexually explicit), and Jay Asher’s “Thirteen Reasons Why”(Drugs/alcohol/smoking, sexually explicit, suicide). Also on the list, at No. 1
