Alto Emily Leal-Santiesteban says this weekend's performance of Mozart's Requiem will be unlike any other! “The Scripture readings, poetry, letters, & Gregorian chant woven between movements cause you to reflect on life, death, and what it means to you." https://t.co/7VrGh4d1n9

@dcodysweet @tedcruz Don’t forget Ted Cruz blames his daughters for his own stupidity...his own privilege...his own disregard for anything except what HE wants...

@dcodysweet @NBA @mcuban @dallasmavs I’ve always thought the National Anthem should be America the Beautiful. Much easier to sing, and actually celebrates the country itself, not just the flag...
