a GREAT PERFORMANCES special
A song has a few rights the same as other ordinary citizens.....If it happens to feel like trying to fly where humans cannot fly,--to sing what cannot be sung,--to walk in a cave, on all fours,--or to tighten up its girth in blind hope and faith, and try to scale mountains that are not--Who shall stop it! In short, must a song always be a song!

-Charles Ives, Afterword to 114 Songs
