Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony Was Awesome!!

It was a wonderful evening last night at The New York Philharmonic Orchestra concert. Gustav Mahler’s “Resurrection” symphony clocked in at 84 minutes, but it was awesomely beautiful. I had never heard a performance of this work. I remained totally focused as did the rest of the sold-out house.

When the concert was over the audience gave the performers a roaring ... and I’m not being overly dramatic ... roaring standing ovation. I can’t remember a more enthusiastic audience response at a NY Phil concert.

Yes, it was a wonderful classical music evening.

After the concert Billi Pod walked back to PHC while listening to the YANKEES/RAYS game on his trusty but now ancient Walkman. The weather was nice, just a bit windy.

The Yankees lost again and the FuckSox won, meaning the Rays and the FuckSox remain tied for the Wild Card.

Tonight is the final regular season game, meaningless to The Yankees but mega-important to The Rays. Again Girardi has cobbled together another makeshift pitching lineup, saving our best arms, of course, for the post season which begins on Friday.

If the Rays and the FuckSox remain tied, they will play a one-game tie breaker on Thursday. That would be nice.

We still don’t know who we will face on Friday, either Detroit or Texas.

About the game on Friday==>Billi Pod will be there in his usual seat. Thanks to the whores at TBS, Fox and MLB the first pitch won’t come until 8:37pm. Factor in all of the commercials and stuff and it will be way past midnight when the game is over. Nice guys ... I am sure tons of people, including kids, will be staying up late to watch the game -- NOT!!

“They” still haven’t released the starting time for game 2 on Saturday.

Oh well ... nuttin Billi Pod can do ‘bout it ... so ... on to other stuff ... like ...

Tonight will finally have some face time with my friend Justin Allen Pifer. He will come over to PHC, after work. After doing some catching-up we will catch a bite in the ‘hood.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
