The Musical Stylings of Olivier Messiaen

Olivier Messiaen's music has wit, style, grace, poignancy, and allure. In its depths swim melodies and themes as beautiful as any of the exotic fauna found in the colourful reefs of the tropics. Such wonderous aural delights are born through the mating of years of experience and hard work.

Messiaen could illicit deep, unambiguous horror, or nerve-cutting ecstasy. His work graces some of the most relatable scenes in modern cinema, and much of our cultural debt is owed to him.

John Ralston Saul

John Ralston Saul is an excellent writer, and an inspiring individual.

His forte is the written word, which he expresses in one of two ways:

1. Non-fiction: Saul is an essayist who has written at length about social issues and how they might be resolved. His philosophy is humanist, so his work often explores themes of the individual versus the elite echelons of society. He urges the reader to question social norms for the betterment of all people.
   
2. Fiction: I haven't read any of his novels, but they're supposed to be pretty good.
   

Saul has taught the world that it is cool to be a thinker. His status as one of Canada's top pop-philosophers has garnered him all of the things that people might want out of life: fame, political influence, riches, and an attractive and successful spouse. As such, he is a well-respected member of the Canadian intelligentsia, and an inspiration to future generations to pursue philosophy.

Bill O'Reilly

Maybe you cheated on your taxes. Maybe you didn't cede the right of way to an ambulance. Maybe you treat people like garbage if they don't agree with you. Maybe you'd throw your own mother down a flight of stairs just to get your face on TV.

Hey, nobody is perfect; we all make mistakes. When we dwell on the things that make us bad people, it's natural to feel bad. You deserve a pick-me up.

Thanks to Bill O'Reilly, there's always a way to cheer up, just watch some videos with Bill on youtube, you can't help but laugh.
