100 years ago today, during a concert staged at Aeolian Hall by Paul Whiteman in New York City, George Gershwin performed his brand new composition for the first time, "Rhapsody In Blue." #OnThisDay

Rosa (var: "Living Easy")

As the song goes, "Summertime and the living is easy.", but unfortunately, not for much longer. I hate to remind everybody - autumn officially begins next Saturday. Yikes!

One of my favorite things that can happen is someone says something like, "Oh, I love that song, it has a bunch of different sections, like Bohemain Rhapsody."

And I get to say, "So it's a... rhapsody."

Like... that's what a rhapsody is, my guy.

Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin? Actually also a rhapsody. He didn't lie in the title.

Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day? I'd say... a rhapsody. Even Wikipedia calls it "a punk rock version of Bohemian Rhapsody." You don't have to do this. It's just a rhapsody that is punk rock.

Not to downplay how cool it was that Queen made a modern rhapsody so sick that it's the benchmark. I'm just saying. We can have more rhapsodies.

When people say they don’t like Classical Music, I guess they just can’t Handel it
