John Adams: “Representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty. Without them, we have no other fortification against being ridden like horses, fleeced like sheep, worked like cattle, and fed and clothed like swine and hounds.”

My #orchestra's spring concert is online. It's a pretty fresh set of music by American composers - #JohnAdams, #LeonardBernstein, #aaroncopland and more. I'm realizing I could be a bit more "economical" with my bowing, and stop making faces when I goof up...but more importantly, this is just such a GOOD GROUP of people. And I'm proud of the orchestra for challenging itself to do diverse repertoire.

So in prep for celebrating Barbenheimer this weekend, I'm rewatching John Adams' "Doctor Atomic" on DVD from The Met. Though it's only 3 hours, I'm breaking it up into two nights (because of work) and last night was Act I. Oh jesus that "Batter my heart" aria is stunning.

“If #Jefferson was the poet of the early republic’s civic identity, #JohnAdams was its driving force. It was Adams who was indispensable in convincing the Second #ContinentalCongress that the time had come for American independence. It was also Adams who gave the task of writing the document to Jefferson and whom Jefferson called its ‘ablest advocate.’”

🥥 How on earth did #JohnAdams remember to include Shews in his list of things required for a celebration of the founding and forget to include Bewbs? 🥥

"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
