My father's favorite composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is a mere 259 years old today. I grew up hearing tales of Mozart's greatness ("You can't even tie your shoes? When Mozart was your age, he was composing concertos!"). Nevertheless, I do love his music, and I also love the movie made about him--"Amadeus". I saw it the day it came out in Champaign Illinois at the Coed Theater (which no longer exists). Sitting right behind me in the theater that day was King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew.
