I still love paging through physical magazines and reading the comics (plus most of my local news) in newsprint. But I know it can’t compare to experiences like the interesting path I just traveled: 1) visiting Alex Ross’ classical music blog and 2) watching a video of Marion Anderson singing at the Lincoln Memorial 3) reading Ross’ New Yorker article on Anderson and the 70th anniversary of that defiant concert 4) searching for the Sticks & Drones blog cited in the article and 5) reading the post by conductor William Eddins about why the African-American community is largely absent from classical music. After which I remembered that this morning I had noticed and wanted to read later 6) an article in the N.Y. Times about Julliard cutting back on a music outreach program for minority schoolchildren who can’t afford those fancy music lessons. I just can’t access so much so swiftly on regular paper.
