Fast Food Fight: McDonald's Scotland Piping in Beethoven, Bach to Quell Public Unrest [VIDEO]
If one were to scour the vast libraries of YouTube for fast food restaurant brawls, one might find a buffet of altercations taking place at Wendy's, IHOP and so on. However, for Scotland's busiest McDonalds, a new regiment of classical music is being played in order to simmer down the revolting public. EXCLUSIVE: Elliot Goldenthal on 'Othello' at American Ballet Theatre, Julie Taymor's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' Film, Wojciech Kilar Prize...and Tom Brady to Berlin Phil?
No doubt, you've heard Elliot Goldenthal before. Be it early efforts scoring Gus Van Sant's 'Cocaine Cowboys,' mid-career cues care of Joel Schumacher's 'Batman' reboot or his exquisite contributions to the five feature films of his partner Julie Taymor, yes, Goldenthal's music is heard most often on the big screen. Having studied under American compositional royalty like Aaron Copland and John Corigliano, though, Goldenthal is hardly some Hollywood hack.
