Bach, Set Theory and the Titanic
Saturday, January 19th, 2013 12:27 pmDear Radio Producers,
Please do the math and consider the size of the intersection of the set of people who like Bach and the set of people who like the theme from Titanic. Chances are that it is smaller than the intersection of the set of people who like Bach with the set of people who like Dethklok (of whom I happen to be a member). Remember that an angel once went back in time to stop the Titanic sinking just so he wouldn't have to listen to that song. OK, it was a fictional angel, and he was lying in any case, but it sounds credible, doesn't it? So really, the first intersection probably consists of you and completely tone deaf people. Put simply, tacky film music on a classical music station = bad idea.
