By the end of the performance, they proved that strings don’t just belong at the symphony — they’re made for rock and roll.

In his sweeping solos, Wyatt Underhill, an acting associate concertmaster, managed to turn his violin into an oboe, the oboe into a gong, then back into a violin solely through the specificity of his fingers.

On For All The Dogs, Drake proves that he still hasn’t learned with more misogynistic digs on the nameless “BBL” b—es whom he tries to save but can’t. No matter how well he treats them they keep f—ing other dudes!
