Daddy Lion, or Jeremy Joseph, planned to host his fourth of a series of benefit concerts before the Sandy Hook Shooting took place three months ago in Newton, Conn.

We often make ourselves the protagonist of our own lives. We can’t help it — it’s how we’re programmed. We give our own existence a novel- or film-like context and are the center of our reality. For whatever reason, that was the perspective that humans were given. Nevertheless, we insist on barging in on other people’s consciousness, judging other people’s lives by our standards. We seem to do this on a daily basis to friends, strangers and people on the street who wear fedoras. However, the light of criticism shines brightest for celebrities. Lame puns aside, these beacons of entertainment and wisdom are constantly facing public scrutiny, especially on how they do their job. We place a heavy weight on artists to continue to produce great new music on a regular basis ... so long as it’s created with us in mind.
Alex Ross, a classical music critic for The New Yorker, presented the keynote speech last night at the “Wagner World Wide: America” international symposium.Hosted by the USC College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Music in conjunction with the University of Bayreuth in Germany, the three-day conference has celebrated the 200-year anniversary of Richard Wagner’s birth with concerts, films and performances in the German composer’s honor.The symposium, which has drawn guests from around the country and expert presenters from USC and across the globe, began Sunday with a performance of selected Wagner works by the USC Symphony Orchestra. Wagner was a 19th century composer, theater director and conductor chiefly known for his operas, which include the epic four-opera cycle “The Ring of the Nibelung.”Other events this week have included musical performances and presentations on the significance of Wagner’s works regarding the topics of environment and nature, gender and sexuality, media and film, history and nationalism and globalization and markets.The conference continues through tomorrow, culminating with a public performance of “Das Barbecü,” a comedic spoof on Wagner’s “Ring” presented by the USC Opera.Wagner’s works have incited controversy for various reasons, among them anti-Semitic reflections and socialist interpretations.—Compiled by Sarah Ellis, Assistant News Editor

I came upon this question the same way I make most discoveries in my life: by sifting through the vast overgrown jungle that is online music blogs. While rummaging through the plethora of tour announcements and Bandcamp.com links, I found an enlightening story about the recent release of a new Danny Brown track. After listening to and thoroughly enjoying the song, I looked up the lyrics.
