Lizzo plays 200-year-old flute owned by former US president

Apparently there are men on the internet who are Big Mad™ about this, lol. What a cool experience for her though.

What a really strange thing to be made about? Why?

It's people like Ben Shapiro and their ilk. Performative outrage, as per usual.

Ben must be feeling lonely.

As a flute player.. the only thing I can think is: Why would anyone want a crystal flute? The odds of dropping and breaking it are very high. No..just no. Not only that, but putting it together would be a pain. As flutes age, you normally need a tiny touch of lubricant or water on the head joint and foot joint so they go onto the body easily without bending keys/pads and I just can't see doing that with a crystal flute. It just seems like a silly expense that is not useful at all..
Not only that, but allowing a pop/ R&B star that dances while she plays to handle such an exorbitant instrument seems foolhardy to me. I mean..go Lizzo, but it just seems like a dumb decision on the LOC's part. *shrugs*

For novelty.

That's really cool. I'm sure she was honored to have that opportunity.

Culture war, "anti-woke" nonsense is literally all they have.

I'm laughing so hard at people's comments on Facebook. They're all so angry and demanding it should have been lent to a master flautist. I'm sorry but I doubt any of these people could even name such a person. And a master flautist certainly wouldn't have been given as much attention. A lot of people don't even seem to realize that Lizzo can play the flute. I'm not saying she's an excellent flute player, but she was classically trained. Most of these people probably never even realized this crystal flute existed. Just literally mad about something they don't even care about.

I wouldn't know...but, that would probably piss them off even more.

I wouldn't know either except I listed to her being interviewed by Terry Gross/Fresh Air a few years ago and she played the flute - Wow!

Who knew Lizzo was a flautist?
Who knew about Madison's crystal flute?
Who knew about LOC's musical instrument collection?

It really was a cool "educational" moment!

I'm happy for her. And I learned some things, lol.
