Are you really that closed minded to think that ONLY subject matter based on the use of the word tuba in a sentence concludes it being appropriate for the tubenet? Every single musician and artist can take a note from this small event. It's the people we look up to in the world that help guide us with our craft, the people that show us what our instruments are capable of, the people who play in those wonderful recordings we learn from, the people painting those masterpieces we now hang in our museums, and the people who's actions in public show us how we too should act. That's like saying I don't want to know any political background on a composer's life. Take Strauss for example, is it musically non-important to know he was a Nazi, to overlook the significance of being a Nazi and writing for that regime could have on his music?
