Holst composition "The Planets" is now up to date again!
One good thing to come out of this Pluto flap - Gustav Holst's "The Planets" is no longer anachronistic. I can listen to it again without wishing Pluto had been discovered before he composed it.

Discuss. :D

1. It's proof that Holst is actually God,
and so now I'm going to found the Church of the Almighty Holst...my first act as Holstian Pope is to excommunicate those silly bastards who wanted to take us to 12 planets.

There is only one down-side to this - I don't particularly like his music, and I suspect that being Holstian Pope would involve listening to it lots... :evilfrown:
