Fair use rationale for Image:Sirius symphony hall.jpg[edit]

Image:Sirius symphony hall.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The sexualization of music?[edit]

I just read the better part of an article in the online edition of Crisis Magazine by Paul Kengor about the sexualization of music supposedly promulgated by SiriusXM Radio's Symphony Hall channel. I have been listening to Symphony Hall since I first discovered the SiriusXM app on my smart TV over a year ago. I find it to be one of the best programmed classical music channels in any context, on radio or TV.

I must say that until I read this artical in Crisis Magazine, the last thing that crossed my mind was that this music channel sexualized anything, much less music. The Crisis article seems to make a crisis out of nothing as far as I can tell, and the author, Paul Kengor even starts out by saying that the Symphony Hall program is his refuge from politics and the myriad asundry of what he apparently views as the sins of life.

Now, it must be said that Crisis Magazine appears to be a publication at least inspired by the Catholic Church, and it seems to take a highly orthodox position in support of Catholic, that is to say, Papal, doctrine. I say this never having heard of the publication before I read the article online after searching for information on Robert Aubrey Davis, one of Symphony Hall's erudite presenters. I must admit that, as a former musician myself, who got his degree in the subject, I struggle to find any crisis in how Symphony Hall presents its programming. To hear Paul Kengor so consumed otherwise by his thesis left me utterly unable to respond, partly I am sure, because the comments section on that article were closed. Hence, I felt compelled to be the first on Wikipedia to comment as my conribution to their article on Symphony Hall.

All I can say is that there is always a malcontent in every barrel of apples. I urge anyone with a love of classical music to listen to the Symphony Hall channel themselves. I am certain that the majority will, if anything, stop thinking entirely of humanity's most commonly compelling preoccupation, even for those of us who have obsessed about sex on more than one occasion, speaking for myself, of course.
