As we, the good people of America, remember J6 with horror and sadness, spare a thought for the residents of the city it happened in.
DC is often overlooked as a place where folks live, but this trauma happened to us, on our streets, in the place we call home.

All of this has a “Mission Accomplished” feel, and like that precedent, will be seen and evaluated through the prism of what happens over the next few months, not this weekend’s moment of self proclaimed triumphalism.

When they still allowed me in the classroom, something I talked about with my music students is that it is not now and has never been the fault of individual artists that some people don't go to the opera or symphony or theatre.
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

"You're not trying to beat anyone else at an audition. That's not your job. Your job is to play so well that they can't imagine *not* hiring you." -Lynne Ramsey, one of the best viola teachers I ever had, and a wizard at getting right to the point
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.
