I think joy is highly political, in its own way.

Still nice.

They're tainted by advertising and about as "real" as "reality shows."

Our "reality" is so scripted and packaged these days that few of us recognize the real thing anymore.

Anyone with a fundamental understanding of camera setups should be able to detect when one of these things is staged. Then again, many of us cheered when throngs of ebullient Iraqis "spontaneously" tore down Saddam's statue.

Thank you so much you have made my day! Definitely saved to favorites . . . now THAT's a flashmob

has a special place for me. First and only classical piece I learned to play on the piano in my brief piano career as a kid. It's a gorgeous bit of music.

Flash mobs, gotta love 'em.

What lucky children, to grow up in a place where such a thing is possible...!

But I must say, that clip was wonderful! Good on the Philly Opera Co!

The one indisputable thing we got right was our creation of music !

of getting a flash mob going at my condo association...(right after the bylaws reform and the hot tub/ enclosed swimming pool)

especially in Spain.

I enjoyed the video very much, thanks for posting.

support music education + your nearest symphony.

That was great - especially the crowds' expressions and appreciation of what was happening.

Made my little heart smile.

Thank you OP.
