Despite the Young Concert Artists competition's focus on budding musicians, director Susan Wadsworth allowed Stoner to play in the first round, thinking she might recommend him to another agency. She said his performance was less than stellar.

"The whole thing is pretty comical," said Wadsworth, adding that Stoner's attempt to compete was like an adult repeating the first grade because "your handwriting isn't good enough."

So they actually let him play and he was cut because he sucked. Case dismissed. Leave the courtroom now stupid Stoner.

Wow, an ironic headline that's actually ironic (assuming headline matches article, which is usually a fools bet)? You don't get to see that too often.

"Judge Patterson should be removed from the bench, both because of his mental and physical limitations," Stoner wrote in the judicial complaint, obtained by the Daily News. "With all due respect, he may have been a very learned jurist in his day"

It's pronounced "Learn'd"

Patterson, who earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard College at the end of World War II,

Which is of absolutely no use to anyone 60+ years later.

Hmmm. Is this irony or just hypocrisy?

You'd almost think he was doing it because he's a bitter prick and not due to his fine sense of morals and equality. Almost.

Things between the aging judge and the plaintiff got off to a rocky start when Patterson tossed the case Oct. 7 after finding mistakes in Stoner's court briefs.

Just buy some adult diapers.

He's just worried cause he just saw Leslie Horwinkle get his peepee whacked. Definitely should find a lawyer to do all the talking.

Please toss this out, otherwise people are going to sue American Idol and The X Factor for cutting them for sucking.

On the other hand - PLEASE GO THROUGH WITH IT!

But it needs to be at a Miss Universe pageant, meow, for the full ironic effect.

Checks in to see what the fk happened to caused Leroy Bell to flip ....

mariamatiasmusic.com

see's the article is about a violinist. Nevermind.

The violinist needs to advocate for competitions for older musicians. This ain't the way to do it. Sounds like the violinist is less mad about age discrimination, than about facing the reality that people don't see him as he sees himself. But maybe that's me.

Ever notice how you may feel one age, but people look at you as if you're another? One day you're 55, but you still feel 25 in the back of your mind. Where did the time go? You're 22, but you're still stuck in high school. You see that first gray hair and think, WTF? That kind of thing.

I don't know, though.

They should both be thrown out. 88 is to old to be a judge. And hes too old for a "young musicians" contest
