Kudos: Saudi Arabia Holds First Gender-Mixed, Public Concert

Saudi Arabia, a country in which women have few, if any, rights, held a concert of classical music, presented by a German Quartet. What’s amazing is that the concert is the first-ever public gathering of a mixed-gender audience for musical enjoyment. You can read more about the event at MSNBC.

While the audience was mostly an expatriate audience, I’m always pleased to see progress in a country dominated by religious law that contravenes a vast majority of civil liberties.

In Unpolitical News….Kudos to Vince Young

The lad has returned to the University of Texas, and will so every spring semester it seems, until he finishes his college degree. And he needs it! Did you see his interview on Leno after winning the National Championship? Reading more for him good it would be, if you know what i’m sayin. Not many NFL quarterbacks would trade their off-season leisure time (with millions of dollars and oodles of ladies at their disposal) to hit the books and take tests in the name of a Bachelors Degree.  Following in the footsteps of Steven Spielberg, Vince gets the PMP Kudos of the Week!
