Loneliness without the privacy to be lonely is the worst form of prison...Like on a ship with a bad crew...or where you cannot play your music, or sing because of fear ..that is a prison indeed. I remember listening to Beethovens only Opera, Fidelio. The prisoners chorus "Oh Welche Lust" (sp?) was playing at the same time that the news had reported some hostages had been released from Iran. At that precise moment I really understood the genius of Beethovens music. Yours, Aye. Dave
