Live from Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin	Deutsche Grammophon	2020		recorded in May 2020 in an empty concert hall / This piece was composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1836. Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola in the Duchy of Warsaw and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. At 21, he settled in Paris. Thereafter—in the last 18 years of his life—he gave only 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by giving piano lessons, for which he was in high demand. After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska from 1836 to 1837, he maintained an often troubled relationship with French writer Amantine Dupin (known by her pen name, George Sand).		*	0:04:27 (Pop-up)

Peter Sellers, Slim Pickens	Now Dimitri... / When Johnny Comes Marching Home   → "Now Dimitri... / When Johnny Comes Marching Home"...	Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb		1964		Slim Pickens was born Louis Burton Lindley Jr. in Kingsburg, California, the son of Sally Mosher (née Turk) and Louis Bert Lindley Sr., a Texas-born dairy farmer. Young Lindley was an excellent horse rider from an early age. Known as "Burt" to his family and friends, he grew bored with dairy farming and began to make a few dollars by riding broncos and roping steers in his early teens. His father found out and forbade this activity, but Lindley took no notice, went to compete in a rodeo, and was told by the doubtful rodeo manager that there would be "slim pickins" (i.e. little chance of any prize money) for him. To prevent his father from discovering that he had competed, he entered his name as Slim Pickens, and won $400 that afternoon. Lindley graduated from Hanford High School, Hanford, California, and was a member of the Future Farmers of America. He joined the rodeo, billed as Slim Pickens, and eventually became a well-known rodeo clown. During World War II, he enlisted in the United States Army. Reportedly when the recruiter asked him his profession, he responded "Rodeo". This was misread on a form as "radio", and he spent his entire enlistment at a radio station in the American Midwest. After nearly 20 years of rodeo work, e appeared in many more Westerns, playing both villains and comic sidekicks to actors such as Rex Allen. Hollywood made good use of Pickens' rodeo background. He did not need a stand-in for horseback scenes, and he was able to gallop his own Appaloosa horses across the desert, or drive a stagecoach pulled by a 6-horse team. In a large number of films and TV shows, he wore his own hats and boots, and rode his own horses and mules.			2:34:52 (Pop-up)

Sufjan Stevens	The Star Spangled Banner   → "The Star Spangled Banner" by "Sufjan Stevens"		Sufjan Stevens	2012		Lyrics: Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light / What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? / Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight / O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? / And the rockets' red glare, and the bombs in air / Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there / And our flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands / And our hands marked with death, with the blood of the man / And the man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts / Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart? / And the rockets red glare and the bombs in the air / Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there / And our flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands / And our hands marked with death, with the blood of the man / And the man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts / Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart? / Oh say, does that star / Spangled banner yet wave / O'er the land of the free / And the home of the brave? / On March 16, 2017 at the 30th annual benefit concert for Tibet House that took place at Carnegie Hall, Sufjan Stevens was joined by the Patti Smith Band to perform his rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ Before playing, Sufjan said: “My prayer is that we begin to move our hearts, our minds, our bodies in the direction of love, wisdom, and common sense. Until then, we’d like to sing a theme song for this present darkness.”			2:55:15 (Pop-up)
