The company, which now faces a possible criminal investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said in a statement it wanted to show shareholders and creditors that the company's assets will remain intact despite the intensifying crisis...
...wanted "to hear music, not to be preached to." Is it a gross understatement to say that most music carries with it a message of some sort? Kurt Cobain had his anthem of angst and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony carries the message of hope, brotherhood and unity of mankind.
