I liked Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, 2nd movement, it had drama and movement.Rok, everything that speaks the truth gets deleted. The 1% controls it all, they're even trying to control what we think.I think this is one of the most beautiful things ...

Victory at Sea - original LPs Vs Remastered LP or CD
Schubert, I bet you were one of those officers who forced me to watch "Victory At Sea".While I had no choice in whether or not I watched Victory At Sea, I actually enjoyed it; it certainly beat a lot of other duties.
