2. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six.........
The music is still beautiful.......even if we no longer consider Pluto a full-sized planet........

Nothing changes the beauty of the melodies, or the place they have in our hearts......

:hug:

4. * can be Prez but Pluto isn't good enough to be a planet?
I think the rule should be: if you can catch somebody's eye, maybe we should call you a planet. At least grandfather planethood. Just because life isn't fair doesn't mean the universe shouldn't be.

6. If it's any consolation, Pluto hasn't gone anywhere
It's still slowly moseying around the sun just as it has for the last 76 years, and the 4.6 billion years before we first saw it.

9. A fella named Collin Matthews wrote a Pluto movement in 2000
He's apparently a Holst scholar and was commissioned to write the movement. I personally think.... it's crap. Neptune, as Holst wrote it, ends the suite perfectly.

Holst also refused to consider writing a Pluto movement, and probably wouldn't have finished it if he'd tried as he died only four years after Pluto was discovered.
