Went to see Tim Minchin live at the Sydney Opera House last night. For those not familiar, well worth a look. (Good one to start off with would be along the lines of 'Dark Side' or 'Prejudice'.) Until then, put simply, he's a comedic pianist. Yes, similar to what I do. Well, more the other way around, but anyway.
Those of you that are familiar with Tim Minchin may be wondering why I went to see him, given that I am a Christian, and much of his material is colourful, to say the least. His 'Pope Song' would be a shining example of this.
But Mr Minchin, despite his frequent use of language of the coarse variety, and many quite vocal atheist views, has a lot of great ideas. On top of that, he is a master with the piano, has insanely clever lyrics, and possesses a good voice to boot.
Add to this the entire Sydney Symphony, which he had behind him at the time, and you result in this post's title. Needless to say, I enjoyed last night immensely. =D I also, interestingly, had a chat to one of the camera operators (it was being broadcast live to ABC2), who had actually been there at the opening of the Opera House - and on top of of it, actually, with a video camera. Needless to say, he'd been in the business for a few years. Think that would be a pretty good job, though perhaps not one that's too practical for me at the moment. (Though my mum is pushing for me to get a job, but that's another story.)
So yeah, think that's pretty much all I wanted to write this week. Nothing terribly profound, just something cool that I did.
