Cannot help but notice, that death of once such a common in every household name, the hero, the man who with his music did more than hundreds of politicians could not, does get only one sentiment? This is by itself already sad--indeed, where goes the culture... Not sure if that is an indicator of how low the appreciation for classical music fell?

If you're looking for culture, check the toilet - it's been there a very long time.......Everything has sunk  ( or is on the way ) to the bottom, not just appreciation for classical music.
