Come along quietly please, Maestro

The point is well-made, but he has since learnt the error of his ways, and is in any event serving a lifetime of embarrassment for such past misdemeanours.

Seems a tad lenient,Conditional discharge then ?!

Incidentally legal point, am I right in saying that an unconditional discharge is actually effectively "guilty, but no punishment?"

I believe so.

I accuse Rick Wakeman of vandalism for his treatment of Brahms' 4th in Cans and Brahms on the album Fragile. Although I thought it OK as a teenager, I can no longer listen to the 3rd movement without hearing this version in my mind.

I insist on the maximum punishment of a weekly haircut!

[Vile Consort]

On what charge?

<swiftly ducks under table>

Criminal Damage.

I had forgotten how bad this was
Do any of those prog/classical things sound good these days ?
ELP sound ragged and badly played to me now (as mentioned on the Christmas dirge thread)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer doing their classical bits! Arrgh!!

[hedgehog]

Tomita for unspeakable sonic acts to Debussy, Ravel, well .... unspeakable sonic acts full stop.

Punishment: lock him up in anechoic pyramid to be suspended above a live volcano (so the snowflakes can't dance)

Hoorah! Gerontius makes me cringe!

I think we might be alone in here

[ahinton]

Alone together, as in? Possibly - though maybe not quite! A view that I most certainly do not share (and I'm not a Christian, let alone a Catholic)...

[MrGongGong]

Alone together, as in?.

Indeed
You mean there are more of us ?

You think that was bad - try this for size.

The only fitting punishment can be forced to listen to Radio 3 Breakfast for eternity.

Brilliant

That's what I call a conscious cheesefest

[LeMartinPecheur]

Alone together, as in?

Is one of you, ummm..., feline?

I'm thinking of a favourite song and poem: Barber's Hermit Songs, The Monk and his Cat:

Pangur, white Pangur,
How happy we are
Alone together,
Scholar and cat.


[PS Ah, Google tells me there is a possibly better-known lyric in that obscure genre 'Popular Music', featuring these same two words. I'll stick with the original, c9th century Irish version, trans. Auden...]

These days? ever?

Rick Wakeman's punishments are easy.....banished from the court of Henry 8th...or sent to the centre of the earth.
