Poor Detroit.

It's like they've just given up and said, "Okay, Japan, you win." I don't know if you've heard that the DSO had a special guest conductor the other night. Well, the show was sold out (that's right- the Detroit Symphony Orchestra sold out a show!), and the final piece got what sounds like a standing ovation. Sure, to symphony goers, it may have been a major accomplishment, but I'm surprised at the musicians' response; don't they know what happened to the auto workers when robots started doing their jobs?

(Incidentally, I was not this worried when I saw the performance abilities of this guest's cousin; he didn't make much of a musician. But a conductor? That's the sort of thing an overgrown metronome would be perfect for!)

Anyway, here's some video.
