He's like the story that on the re-telling, just does not seem funny and at the end the story teller pauses and says...
"I guess you had to be there."
Shostakovich is hard to like. But then, anyone who can piss off Stalin can't be all bad, can they?
But then, as much as I appreciate Mahler, I don't love his works as others do.

And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
