Pygmania

is one of the best wikipedia articles in the entire world.  Item #2,  Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song , is itself a link to another of the best wikipedia articles in the entire world.  Last on the list--BUT NOT LEAST--is Antichrist: This film by Lars von Trier features a scene of penetrative vaginal intercourse, and also includes graphically violent sexual imagery.

From an article about the demise of the New York City Opera - "That sort of stability does not come cheap. New York Philharmonic musicians’ salaries start at $134,940. A Lincoln Center stagehand can make nearly $330,000. The Philadelphia Orchestra, which is seeking bankruptcy protection, is staring at $44.8 million in unfunded pension liabilities. While City Opera pays no rent on the David H. Koch Theater, it has to lay out $4.5 million a year just to keep the facility running."
