I see from a clip on our Media Blog — here — that the Olbermann show also uses Bach’s Toccata and Fugue. The famous one in D minor. The Scherzo from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is in D minor, too. Are the Olbermann people developing a theme? In any case, both Bach and Beethoven are used by this show. I sense, somehow, a defilement.

Neither composer was the type to defame anyone. And they were forces for great good in the world. But then, their music falls on the ears of the just and the unjust. (Yes, that’s an allusion to the Sermon on the Mount — such alluding is still legal, right? Or only to us Borkian “originalists”?)
