Happy birthday, Justin Timberlake. I'm sure someone would like to hear one of your songs on the occasion of your 26th birthday.

But not me.

It's also Franz Schubert's birthday; he was born in 1797 (and died in 1828). Unlike Justin, Schubert's work went unrecognized and unrewarded while he lived. In fact, he lived and died in poverty, a music teacher to the children of a Hungarian aristocrat. Justin, on the other hand... well, you know. Anyway, you think Schubert didn't rock? Watch an episode or two of the historic British documentary about a concert of his most famous work, "The Trout" Quintet, by a pick up team of legendary classical superstars, Itzhak Perlman, Daniel Barenboim, Jacqueline Du Pré, Zubin Mehta and Pinchas Zukerman.
