| #10 With any luck this is just the first of a long series of misfortunes sent by the Almighty to punish the Boston Camerata for their avid promotion of pan-Mediterranean New Age noodling. /half-kidding Love early music. Love most every oriental vernacular music. Moonbeam mishmash and its cultural and revisionist baggage, not so much. But I'm in awe seeing the 'burg unanimously behind the little Arab dude with his reed flutes. I swear I can feel various bigotries crackling and crumbling off of me every time I browse through here. |

Recent donations have included $2,000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and $1,500 to Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn,” the editorial reads. |
