How and where do you like your Ode to Joy?
We found out last evening watching Monday Night Football. During half
time, which was devoted to a tribute to retiring Miami Dolphins quarterback
Dan Marino, and just as a bronze statue of Marino -- poised to throw a
football-- was unveiled, a stunning fireworks and smoke display erupted in
the stadium accompanied by a full orchestral/choral version of the Ode.
And it went on and on, and the crowd roared.
And then they resumed the football game.
