Rob Newman's music education

[DavidW]

He starts up threads on obscure 18^th-c. composers. Isn't that proof of his expertise?

And even Gurn or Gabriel would consider that one obscure!  Maybe we'll be lucky and Eric will derail it with a P&M discussion.

He is obviously the new model Saul. 

G_D forbid!

Ha.


On a side-note, who is Rob Newman? That is to say, I know he's the person making the Mozart threads, but I hadn't realised he also posts in the rest of the forum; and everyone seems intimately - no, eerily - familiar with him.

Eugene,

The rest of the forum! I hope not. I have just been doing a little tidying up. He does post in the Bach Cantata thread. Those posts have been left alone as his posts are on topic and uncontroversial. I have just locked a couple of threads he started.

He is to be kept to the padded Mozart cell or the 911 exercise yard. We might permit the occasional excursion to the moon....but right now, that's IT. So, if you detect anything I have overlooked, do let me know.

Cheers,

Knight

Beware the space toilet sabotage conspiracy if so.

Can't they just do it out of a handy window? I am sure no one would object to such a little space polution.  0:)

So naive...

'Yuri, could you roll down the window? Steve's liquid lamb seems to have been overly heavy on the mint substitute.'

[Florestan]

Could it be one of these two?

If he were hip instead of terminally square, I might suspect that he studied at Kay Kaiser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge with Ish Kabbibble



but it seems he really studied under Professor Irwin Corey (though without realizing that Corey is a standup comic and that everything he says is ludicrous!)



BTW, Corey preceded Pat Paulsen in running for President:



Maybe what we need is one of them--a clown who doesn't take himself seriously instead of a clown who does!

89 pages on That Thread, and not the least indication of any music education.

Oh, boy: right again!

The current top article on BBC makes me wonder if Rob Newman is actually Swedish:

In the interest of upholding our long-standing tradition of not kicking ex-members in the nuts after they leave, I'm locking this one too.
