I'm very surprised the powers that be did not record the last few
years of bell
ringing and just install big speakers in the bell tower and flog
the bells off for
scrap.
Indeed. It raises the interesting point too that, if people like
bells so much, why
don't they just buy a recording and listen to it at home in
private? There's no
need for it to be inflicted on all and sundry.
If I liked gangsta rap, should I be allowed to broadcast it from a
tower as loud as
bells and for the same duration? Or would I be expected to indulge
that little
peccadillo at home and in private?
I don't see any difference.
Why not disband all the orchestras? There must be multiple recordings
of every classical piece in every significant interpretation by now.
