Will one of the nation's greatest violinists be noticed in a D.C. Metro stop during rush hour? Joshua Bell experimented for Gene Weingarten's story in The Washington Post:

Funerary bust of a woman, from Palmyra, Syria. 3rd-century CE.
Cool that this is from the third century Palmyra, a.k.a. when the city-state was at the height of its power both as an ally and adversary of Rome. First Odaenathus is holding shit down for the emperor Gallienus in the East against the Sassanids, but then after his death Queen Zenobia flips the script and is all like, “You want your eastern provinces back, you’ll have to take them back.” Cleopatra retains an elevated historical status through her association with Caesar and Antony, but she pales to Zenobia in individual dynamism and willfulness.
I’m also loving the fact that despite being a Palmyrian bust, it in many ways resembles early Christian sculpture styles that emerged from Rome in the next century. This comparison completely alters my perception of that early Christian aesthetic. Maybe the style wasn’t derived from Christianity, but simply was where the Roman perception of the form was headed (devoid of any Christian influence). Palmyra was cool because it sat astride two civilizations. If Rome was a lion and Sassanid Persia was a tiger, Palmyra was a liger — a hybrid. And hybrid cultures are awesome. The Bactrian Greeks? THE BEST
I'll buy a beer for anyone who an find the sheet music or score for this!

Denis Dutton projects a Darwinian theory of aesthetics. Not what we learn in music conservatories but interesting none the less.
Love the comic sketch too!
