Phew...
...we've been having some intense and interesting discussion here lately, so I thought we'd go for a little bit of levity for today. I find it odd that they bleep out "fa" only when descending. Is the perceived "dirty-wordness" of "fa" merely contextual? And if so, what does it say about the person perceiving that context?
And having taught it for so many years I giggle at the notion that solfege might "hurt [you] mentally".

Four things occurred to me immediately as I read/listened to that report:
1) This is not going to do wonders for the South's (somewhat unfair) reputation as a cultural/intellectual wasteland.
2) The reporter who wrote up the story didn't even know how to spell "re" and "mi" correctly.
3) The reporter says "you can be the judge," but then bleeps the offending syllable so that we can, in fact, judge nothing.
4) Even in the bizarro world of local TV news, how exactly did this horrifying incident come to the attention of a newsgathering organization, and actually make the cut for air?
Coming up tomorrow at 10, our shocking hidden camera investigation reveals a Minnesota Orchestra musician muttering the "f" word under his breath after missing a high b-flat in rehearsal! A story no parent should miss...
Even assuming the parents thought the sound was "dirty" just where did this child get the knowledge of the word? Do mom and dad use it around the house?
exactly!
This explains everything that went wrong with my life... I saw the Sound of Music at an early age.

Just imagine the uproar if this child were ever to be exposed to Mozart's infamous canon in B-flat, Leck mich im arsch!
No, I did not make that canon up...
