Reference :- It started with art galleries being vandalised , and now classical music concerts are also being interrupted by climate activists .
Dear Rowan and Rita ,
Here at The Sky Reply we do appreciate the highly intellectual approach you take when reporting the news . And we were certainly shocked to hear that climate activists have glued themselves to the conductor's stand at a Beethoven concert . It was not long ago that you showed activists spraying slime all over a painting by Monet , that French Impressionist chap . ( You could have run a banner headline along the lines of " Impressionist Gallery Curator Unimpressed . " .... keep it in mind for next time. )
Anyway , as you point out , it is ridiculous to punish Beethoven for climate change . I reckon if he was still alive today and had attended the concert those protests would have fallen on deaf ears . But don't despair . While the crazy activists are trying to destroy the icons of western civilization , our side is winning convincingly . Since that disgraceful attempt to ruin a Beethoven concert a couple of days back , another 160, 000 acres of rainforest have been burned to ash . So I ask you , who is having the last laugh ?
Finally , and I hope you don't take this the wrong way , perhaps you are starting to become too intellectual for your target audience? Doubtless all this stuff about Monet and Beethoven goes over the heads of many of your devotees . I don't suggest for a minute that your audience is riddled with knuckleheads , since that is clearly Paul Murray's demographic . However many folk , less cultured than us , may not give a rat's arse for the fine arts .
What you need is something that all your viewers can relate to . Which brings me to the subject of next weekends festivities out here at Kooralya .
In the lead up to Christmas we a stage a general whoop up day out at here at the lake . All manner of cultural activity is represented , but the three biggest crowd pleasers are the Jet Ski Race , The Hot Ute Burnout , and the Wet T Shirt Competition . Imagine the outrage that would ensue if climate activists sprayed paint on a Jet Ski or a V8 Ute or some sheila's gazongas .
Of course , it might require .... lets just say some " pre-planning " to ensure that a protest happens . Ken junior reckons he can sort out the details if you send him a few quid to cover the cost of the paint and any unintended legal complications .
Let me know what you think .
Your comrade , Ken
