Oh Noes!

My radio station is playing commie music! Shostakovich's Symphony No 12 in D Minor (The Year 1917), written to commemorate Lenin and the revolution. Actually I don't really care and nor do I know enough to say one way or the other if the piece is meant to be interpreted straight or not, I just felt like saying that if I were to boycott this piece for that reason, well, I should just stop listening to classical music altogether. Most of it is dedicated to positions I don't agree with but it is still enjoyable.

Also, I feel very happy right now for reasons I don't care to share.

Im the same considering most classical is religious in origin being an atheist there is no way I could enjoy classical if I boycotted it all.
