Heard in August 1995: An FM Classical music announcer said before a piece by Mikhail Glinka, "It looks like it's going to be...hazy, hot, and humid and...a typical Summer day in St. Louis. But we've got rousing, fun music for you to distract you from that kind of thought and that kind of thinking..."
At the time, that amused me. I thought, "Yes, let's not gripe about the weather when we could listen to something whimsical instead. A Glinka piece won't remove the sweat from one's brow, but maybe we'll fixate on it a tad less..."
...That's about the most one can reasonably expect from music on a hot, humid day.
