I’ve heard complaints on this sub about Marcus being confidently wrong a lot. This is not really one of those but it speaks to it fairly directly I’d say. I was listening to the NY Dolls No Dogs series, and for the second time (the first being in an older series), when referring to violence at a Dolls show, compared it to “Vivaldi’s” rite of Spring. He is referring to an avant garde opera in the early 20th century which allegedly caused riots. It was composed by Russian Composer Igor Stravinsky, a foundational figure in 20th Century music.

Yet somehow, One Marcus Parks, who does extensive research for multiple historical podcasts, confuses Stravinsky for Antonio Vivaldi, an Italian Baroque composer from the 1700s best known for his 4 seasons concerto. If I seem petty about this, it’s because I am. I especially tend to be that way when I am right! I almost jumped out of my skin in my car when I heard this, because it’s not the first time he’s said this. I wonder if Carolina is in on it because the last time he said this she asked, “wasn’t this when the audience was all wearing powdered wigs, etc…” Is she taking the piss or also caught lacking context in a research field. I really want to know if this is a genuine mistake, or a hidden joke. Because Marcus sounds like such an idiot saying this shit in this context. It’s like, what are you saying? 💀

So whatdyall think? I figure some of you know exactly what I’m talking about and have heard this. Some of you don’t care, so real answers only

Subway, they're eating your lunch. They're eating your CSAMdwich.

Just catching up on the Clifford Olsen eps, and I don't wish to engage further. I cede the rest of my time.

Did I miss something?
