My earworms are always Pop. Today it's been this: SMETANA, The Moldau

The earworm has been the main melody/theme. Hearing the rest with it now is delightful.

Then I imagine about their lives, starting around from middle school through college and how much they make now

Music is supposed to take you on a journey and that's where I go

And I subordinate all the magnificent sciences and everything else, because it just IS. Has no meaning (as Lenny BERNSTEIN said), just EVOKES *whatever*.

Daniel Barenboim conducting, Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It was his first return to the podium after ten years or so. And he chose Ma vlast.

"The Moldau" has been drifting through my head all week. I first heard it back in elementary school---back in the days when there were meaningful music appreciation programs. Such a beautiful tone poem.

It sort of started in my ear when Jeffrey TOOBIN said, "@JeffreyToobin: "Today is the first day I actually thought Donald Trump might not finish his term in office. I think this thing is enormous."

And then it started: So flowing (the river and music), swelling, surging, with confident power yet curling side pools. The main theme/melody is all I remembered, then this YouTube just added jeweled elements!
