People far savvier and more accomplished than this used to hang about the Hotel Lux in Moscow in the thirties, waiting to be given something useful to do. Instead they were purged. Admirers of Bolshevism don't know much about what they admire. https://t.co/ZlqAaS63ny

This has to be one of the best Trump stories for quite some time. From @EdwardGLuce's review of Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's book, Regime Change.

We didn't get much sleep last night. The biggest storm I've ever seen.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

I have truly witnessed an unbelievable thunderstorm outbreak in Amsterdam tonight. We’re going on 4 hours straight of constant lightning and downpours.

At peak ~30,000 strikes were detected in 30 min across Netherlands and northern Germany, ~17 lightning strikes a second.

Cape Verde is already the best story of the World Cup, and it could get even better. Me @FT on the son of the cruise ship chef, the son of the famous singer, obviously Vozinha- and think of all the great players of Cape Verdean origin who could have played https://t.co/DFhm1cvhOm

Taking a train holiday. Just arrived in Amsterdam.

Working with Stevie Wonder... From the new memoir by synth pioneer Robert Margouleff. He and Brit Malcolm Cecil played a key role in the classic albums but never got the credit they deserved. From Margouleff's new @JawbonePress memoir Shaping Music. HT @Tamla101

"Ever more by the year, students in my music history class ask for visual accompaniment to the selections we listen to in class."

[John McWhorter @JohnHMcWhorter]

If classical music has a real future, it needs to performed more with visuals. Millenials and younger are used to *seeing* music - just as all of us are used to pictures with sound on TV rather than sticking to radio.
