Yes, Mozart, one of the great musicians of all time and, some have claimed one of the top five minds that the human race has ever seen.

"There is no feeling, human or cosmic, no height the human spirit can reach that is not contained in the music of Mozart."
– Lili Kraus, 1903-1986, American pianist

As I recall, Shakespeare was up there and so too was Newton and Goethe, but all that is debatable and subjective of course.

Rumor has it that Arnold Schwartzenegger is slated to play Bach in an upcoming biopic. Quoth Arnold: "I'll be Bach."

But he's Governor of California. Is he still able to take acting roles?

It's a cameo appearance. (The biopic tells the story of the life of Johann Christian Bach, not J.S. Bach.)

Why would he do that? I don't think he'd be believable as a classical composer.

Is he now looking for more serious roles, since he started his career in politics?

I should have known. Albania. Isn't is called Shqipperia or something? And I believe they put President Bush on a postage stamp, or named a street after him, or something like that, recently. That explains it. Oh yes, and they took the Stalinist line when Yugoslavia was expelled from the Comintern, then became quasi-Maoist, then finally told them all to go to hell and took an independent line -- just like Yugoslavia. And really...that flag...is that crazy, or what?

Anyway, what's all that business about a "man behind a wall" in your player bio, rbmorris? Is that anything like the man behind the curtain?
