First there came the
Chuck
Norris facts. Now I give you the Aaron Copland facts:
Women have been known to become pregnant spontaneously upon
hearing the first notes of Appalachian Spring.
Aaron Copland feels everything you feel. Except pain.
Legislators in New Jersey offered to rename their state after Aaron
Copland, but he forgot to fill out the necessary paperwork so it never
happened.
When Aaron Copland writes bad music, he shreds the manuscript, then
burns it, then eats the ashes, then passes them, then burns the
excreted matter and eats it again, then passes that, then burns
it one more time and buries it. And even after that, it's worth more
than all other composers' manuscripts put together.
When Aaron Copland exits a building in New York City, immediately five
cabs appear out of nowhere to offer him a ride for free.
Aaron Copland could have made tons of money playing the stock market.
He just didn't want to.
People who try to beat Aaron Copland in a composition competition
experience fever, blurred vision, rosin rash, bagginess of the clothes,
and the feeling of being repeatedly hit on the head by a big-boned,
skillet-wielding frontier woman.
It was Fanfare for the Common Man, not the allied armies, that
crushed Fascism.
Umie the Umlaut says, "ask your doctor about the Fredösphere!"

"It was 'Fanfare for the Common Man' ...".
Well, close, but no, it was the "V for Victory da-da-da-DAHHHHHHH" by that old German guy that really did it.
