I didn't *SAY* it wasn't a trite, cheesy exploitation of Kansas City jazz playing against Middle Eastern harmonic patterns trapped within mundane, lackluster rhythms from western street music.
He gave up the internet upon taking office, AS DO ALL SENSIBLE PRESIDENTS, out of respect for the privacy of his correspondents... Whose communiques would be subject to judicial review, hampering their inclination to speak freely.
In the weeks after the election, it was reported that all his emails theretofore had been typed entirely in lowercase text. Some viewed this as evidence of his simple-mindedness and illiteracy.
I saw it as a mechanical but sincere expression of his personal humility. This was not a guy who needed to shout. It's fun to think that he's now embraced some technology that exploded while he was busy with other projects.

That's only 16 bars, right? Right? Or is it 32? I don't know how to count.
Also, that's the wrong way to play William Tell. Not that the correct way is all that good. E.g.,the notorious Mississippi river boat man, brawler, and braggart Mike Fink used to take turns playing a variant of the William Tell story with his best friend. They shot a cup of whiskey off each other's head with a Kentucky rifle ... until one day when they'd had a little argument and Mike shot low.
But you can't complain about Mike Fink too much. In the days before steam boats, before the Army Corps of Engineers began clearing or marking the snags and other hazards to navigation, and before there were lawmen one could appeal to when attacked by river pirates and renegades, they _needed_ men like him to put through the river trade, which was the Ohio territory's only link to civilization.
Totes okay with this:

Don't misquote me.
What I said was, this is a fun piano solo.
Twenty years ago, on a visit to New York City, it haunted me. In the subway on a rainy weekend... Like a pissed-off woman. It was weird.

Anyway, it fucked me up all the way to 57th.
