I'm so livid & saddened at the same time that my heart literally hurts. Anyone who refuses to recognize this as anything other than murder is a vile bag of shit. The people who support this brutal & illegal violence need to be brought to justice. All of them, all the way from the bottom to the top.

It's always enjoyable playing Holst's "The Planets" with my fabulous colleagues in Bergen. But the the thing that really irks me about "The Planets" is that it has nothing to do with any actual planets. harmonien.no/program/2024...
