The Farce Awakens
Since ‘Murica has turned into a reality TV spin-off, we better pick some appropriate theme music.
It’s tempting to use Art Music to make some clever jokes, but it just doesn’t feel funny because it’s real. Well, let the farce begin. Thankfully, a composer (from ‘Murica, no less) has already composed music which we could use for the run of this TV series: Music for a Farce, by Paul Bowles. And it’s a good thing, since clearly this administration isn’t interested in the arts.
Nah, I take it back. This music is too enjoyable. Let’s Fucik instead.

“The Farce Awakens” takes the cake for comment on the present appalling situation. It’s brilliant! Although the Women’s March had center stage on that weekend, this may become a cult classic.
