Classical Notes

Wimbledon Men’s Final. A riveting rare classy classic. Could have gone either way. Djokovic and Federer beautifully played a 5-set 12-12 tie-breaker. First time in history. Didn’t get to the Park until after three.

Pete Buttigieg on David Axelrod’s great CNN show. It seems they’ve known each other for quite some time. At one point, Axelrod reminded Pete that his piano teacher told him not to just play the notes perfectly, but to make music. Axelrod as campaign maestro.

Butti Judged

Mayor Pete Buttigieg was tested as he faced an angry and pain-filled room on Sunday. South Bend Town Hall to address a black man shot by a white cop. The force has gone from 10% – 5% African-American under his mayorship with a white police chief. Not good in a community rife with deep racial strife. How did Mayor Pete handle this test?

C – at best. His EQ as a calm and reasoned man worked against him. He seemed flat as he responded to the emotional questions. It’ll be interesting to see how it affects him in debates.

And. He should lose the Mormon boy white shirt and tie. Not good.
