I love NPR. Where else can you hear a live performance from Adele in a studio with Led Zeppelin on the bookshelf and a life-sized cutout of Maria Callas in the background?

It took 34 seconds before i decided to stop the video. It only took that long, because I had to be sure that the guy was a dumb ass. You can't just judge a book by its cover.

Actually, it was a British breach of etiquette that caused that problem. They started the music before the toast was finished.

@Velkar182 Wow, I never thought about it like that. Your line of logic is revolutionary. It could extend to any subject. Take religion--we could institute a law that required people to attend services at a mosque. It would be equal because Christians, Jews, and Muslims would all have an equal rig...

@pheerstringer Why? Do you want every person to believe the exact same thing? The idea that everyone should maintain the same beliefs contradicts both the nature of a democratic system AND science itself. In fact, the desire for everyone to believe the exact same thing is more attune to the id...

@oh2b16again Oh, the man is racist, that is obvious. But the fact that he is white does not mean that he doesn't know how racism feels. Try being a white intern in Washington D.C. formulating voter canvassing tracks in African American neighborhoods. I got called every name but my own for no o...

@OccasionalComments Your an idiot, and that is biological as well as behavioral. The "hundreds of thousands" of "x-gays" you find is nothing more than propaganda put out by theocratic institutions in order to legitimize the continued unconstitutional denial of basic liberties to GLBT people.

@myideatodayisthisok I don't think I can agree. That seems a very Eurocentric perspective. I had no clue that Liverpool had adopted it until I looked it up on Youtube. Remember, on this side of the Atlantic, we don't follow "soccer". Sinatra's 1945 recording was #9 on the charts long before...

Thank you for this video. The music, the words, the paintings . . . it is good to be reminded of the great works of art that have been created in my country, Especially when one has to wade through the media mire to find them. Beautiful.

@mpa324 The song is a version of the aria "Oh Giusto Cielo ...Il Dolce Suono"arranged for the Fifth Element. The original song is from the mad scene of "Lucia di Lammermoor" written by the Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti in 1835. The opera is based on the novel "The Bride of Lammermoor" by S...

@jayhawk88z There's no accounting for taste.

He is just so . . . frothy!

@linestorming Perhaps you should listen to the full interview before imprisoning people for expressing their opinions--What? That's the first amendment of the constitution? Seriously, handle yourself. The constitution is old and cumbersome. It is a history book as much as an establishment of Go...

@ViciousCritique I don't know about that, but stereotyping people who stereotype is a fail. That's for sure.

@SuperGumby6969 LOL. Please. I invite you to disprove what I said. You have a nice day too!

@gazz12345a Hmmm . . . No, I am not to fond of American intervention. I never said that I was and I never said than there were not instances where intervention was harmful. I think intervention removes us from the intended role of the U.S. I would like to see America close all foreign military...

@MoralRapist Well . . . I'm sot sure how true it is that the Bush administration is all THAT responsible for the economic crisis. It happened during his administration, but thirty years of deregulation of the banking industry by Republicans and Democrats alike is the root cause. The Bush admini...

@darrenmuse What? Does Jackie look too much like your mother? Or do you actually like the people they are making fun of? In either case, the problem is with you and not their comedy.

Oh, good GOD! Another idiot on youtube. Seriously, it is people like this that make the U.S. look like a bunch of sobering idiots.

@xXYourShadowDaniXx No, but most of Europe is worse off when you account for GDP. That is the scary part of it.

@mikeohohoh7 I'm glad you concur. You know, you are very amenable, not the least bit stubborn or pig headed like the stereotype indicates about Germans.

"The American's nicked this land from the Mexican's" . . . way to completely reduce decades of complicated history to that, especially when the British and French were eyeing California for themselves. This is why the world is in the state that it is currently in. No one knows anything about hi...

@themoocrew1 ? The Russian Government doesn't effect the world? Since when? Please go back and study history and world events. Because what you are saying does not match circumstances and history.

LOL, good. Sounds very American, but did anyone else notice that she uses the European dining style rather than the American? Watch the fork. She needs to read her Emily Post to get it right.

@petrimus20 I see. Well, while Dvorak was Czech, I do believe that the Weiner Philharmoniker is actually performing the music in this video since Von Karajan was the conductor of that particular orchestra. The Weiner Philharmoniker, or as we say in English "the Vienna Philharmonic", is the name...

@Enceladux Your comment reminds me of Chris Rock when he hosted the MTV music awards at the Metropolitan Opera. He said he bet he was the first black person on that stage who was not pushing a broom. The irony is that Leontyne Price, an African American woman, performed the title role at the op...

@eeehable I think when people call the Czech Republic Eastern European, they are referring to the lines drawn by the "Iron Curtain". And I think that listening to this while watching Czech videos would defeat Dvorak's purpose, as he wrote this symphony to describe America and to attempt to creat...

Really,the Australian jackass interview the Dalai Lama and wastes his time with that ridiculous joke. God Aussies are dumb.

@JazzyFizzful There is no question about that.

@BrokenneckYgor Jos Stalin did not write "Shortenin Bread". I don't know about his song writing, but that was not one of them.
