"Somewhere Out There"

It seems people in the US like to do classical music like it's a light in the darkness, that there's something out there.  In turn, Germany said they had a grasp on classical music; they also have had a lot of potential for advanced feelings (as any country in Europe or outside of the US claims to Americans.)

It is true Europeans and maybe especially some Germans are quite electrifying on violin, viola, cello, or string bass.

These 1st 2 videos are both led by the German violinist (concert master / 1st violin) Petra Mรผllejans (1959) in the Freiburger Barockorchester.  (The director in the 1st one is from Belgium.)

(This video is led by an English conductor who conducted the Freiburger Barockorchester as well, except here he's in Berlin.)



Here, the 2nd violinist is very attractive, a girl.



There are many interesting people out there and interesting places people like.  It would be very good to get to do things like that in Europe.  I think Americans would have an attraction for and affinity to it.  We are not really connecting well publicly on social media / online, as I have not met many people, at all, nor gotten to see much of anything.

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971) / "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005)

Does anyone miss when those things were still okay, like dreaming about having such an elated life?  I still do it, like "fighting" it.

The 2nd one coming out was a big deal, bigger than Pirates of the Caribbean.  People were wondering who got/did what in the movie, like Johnny Depp and the director Tim Burton, both Late Boomers.

Remember this "viral" image back in 2005 probably?


What exactly were people identifying with?  They think it's their due *rebellion about being jealous of a younger generation.  Also, everyone wants youth, so; maybe there are other things in life to obsess about than procrastinating posting about Johnny Depp online in their blog and on message boards with the other fans.


*Their rebellion about being jealous of a younger generation means they at first act like it is unfair this is not for them, like this movie.  Then, they do it, get into it, and try to mess it up for everyone and even people who are not of younger generations.


Also, this is, like, the poster image for showing false promises/hopes to Generation X, no offense to anyone, like Tim Burton or Johnny Depp.  I'd say Generation X made its own demise, and racism had a handle on the rest to make sure Late Boomers could forget about them, though they are supposed to be old enough to be Late Generation X's parents socially.

Hey, it's not over?
