DISCRETION
Introducing a flute concerto by Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, just now, I mentioned that it wasn’t so unusual for a head of state to play an instrument; Nixon had the piano, and Clinton had the saxophone. I suppose I could have made a naughty double entendre by alluding to Clinton’s “instrument,” and suggested that George W. Bush’s instrument is his Texas chainsaw, but why antagonize people on the air? That’s what the Internet is for.
