Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 20, 2017

Believe it or not, the proof reader had the day off.

How wonderful of you Wolfgang.

As President Trump might say, Mozart is “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more.” Happy President’s Day to all the American readers.

Were he alive today, he’d be bigger than Elvis

To be fair Mozart didn’t sell any CDs in 2016. Different people combined performing his works may have sold more CDs than Drake, Beyonce and Adele in 2016.

.

When Mozart was alive he composed. Now he decomposes.

I’d would gladly listen to Mozart (and often do) before those other so-called “artists”

It’s good to see people haven’t lost their taste for the classics.

Doc: I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news. Patient: What’s the good news? Doc: your brain tumor is shrinking . Patient: What’s the bad news? Doc: About that scorpion sting; it’s going to kill you.

The Big M needs a better publicist, then maybe he’d get his Grammy !

I disagree with the Mozart statement. While “technically” true, Mozart was not the artist performing on those recordings. When a modern artist records a cover song, they are still the artist that wins the award, not the original author.

So essentially, all those orchestras and classical artists are just glorified cover bands…

Clearly, the typical Mozart fan is simply more likely to be mired in CD technology, the Drake/Beyonce/Adele fan, in streaming.

Mozart…rock on, dude!

Next year, maybe they will invite Mozart to the Super Bowl halftime show.

Those other artists sell mostly by streaming —not cds. CDs are old tech. Need to compare actual music sold.

So, the scorpion went to med school? (and it is IN the world)
