Dammit! I was listening to that!

For me (and others), the music is every bit as important as the eulogies, but Tweety et al are just fine with interrupting the music to listen to themselves talk.

Chuck Todd is at least respectful and he has Michael Beschloss on--who I adore.

No interruptions at all, though

If Tweety talks over that, I'll not only change channels but also complain to MSNBC after the service.

The Rutter Requiem is the most beautiful modern requiem, IMO. I'd be satisfied with that at a funeral!

Spare and occasionally dissonant accompanied by reeds.
