Today's Tids Issue 4.662
Just being us:
I think lot of people would be amazed by how much they touch other people positively just by leading a good and caring life.
It’s the last Tids’ day of May. As I usually do at the beginning of months, I wrote my typical intro for this month known for big traditional happenings. Nothing happened. That’s weird in itself.
Feefiphobia: Constant, intense fear of Giants.
Do you think that Trump’s new anti-social media order will affect the Tids? Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
Regular people are becoming angered as they see politics creeping into the Covid thing. As long as we have politicians, we will have politics muddying up harmony, and subverting rational thinking.
The Question:
What do people think are the best Classical Symphonies of all time?

The youngest Kennedy (Bobby’s Grandson) running for Massachusetts Senator next door here, has launched new commercials now running on RI stations for Southeast Mass which is in Providence Metro. He is running on the give-away the store platform.
The beauty of Mount Rushmore before it was carved was unpresidented.
I think Twitter went a bit over board when they put a warning on a new Trump Tweet, saying it was “glorifying violence”. The tweet read, “These thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd and I won’t let that happen.” It went on to say he had talked to the Gov and the military is here to help.
Our town has a law that prohibits carrying open containers of alcoholic beverage on public streets. Ina an effort to help restaurants during the Covid crisis, the governor permitted Take-out, To-Go contrails. Out of town revelers are drinking on park benches and seas walls and sandy dunes thinking the non-drink rule has changed. It hasn’t. te sate forgot that cities have rules too.
There’s a new Netflix documentary on the creepy predator Jeffery Epstein. It gets boring after showing early promise.
It is hard for me to envision any other circumstances that would exonerate the wanton act of the Minneapolis police who let Floyd die.
Interestingly, in a small survey, it appears that the people are much more for the baseball owners than the players. I’m ready for baseball for sure. I love the game. Too often the things that bother me about the game revolve around money, like losing favorite players to free agency, and now the possibility of an entire season. Maybe that survey speaks to the fact that a lot of people are working just to find food.
The Answer:
Can you say Beethoven? 3,200 voters did, over and over again. Numbers 1,2 and 3 were Ludwig’s 9th, 3rd and 5th. Number four was the “New World” (9th) of Anton Dvorak. #5 was Beethoven’s 7th followed by Tchai’s 6th, Mahler’s magnificent 2nd, Mozart’s 40th, Shostakovich’s 5th and Mozart’s 41s. The next ten are Beethoven 6th, Mahler’s 5th, Tchai’s 5th, Schubert’s 8th (Unfinished), Berlioz Symphony Fantastique, Bahm beautiful 4th, Brahms 1st, Mahler’s 9th, Tchai’s 4th and Rachmaninov’s 2nd. Going to 25 we have Sebelius 2nd, Schubert’s 9th (which should be ahead of that unfinished), Mahler’s 1st, Bruckner’s 8th and Shosty’s 7th. I’m a big fan of Brahms’ symphonies, and would put a couple of his above Ludwig. Oh yeah, Brahms #3 was number 26. The Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony which became quite famous as the music behind the wonderful movie Breaking Away is #27. I like Mahler, but was surprised to see him so firmly embedded at the top. Ludwig’s 7th was my first 33LP.
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
Touch someone with kindness.
