    Francis Bacon


    William Shakespeare

    Nobody knows if Shakespeare worked with others, although there is some speculation that Francis Bacon was actually Shakespeare. I always wondered if those two worked together.

    Point is, Shakespeare has always reminded me of South Park (should be the other way round :/ )


    Matt Stone and Trey Parker

    These seem to apply to Shakespeare and South Park:
    Their content relates to current events of the time
    Subversive comedy
    It's been said their plays are best seen, not read
    Very contemporary, instead of formal language used

    If there's reincarnation or not at play here, I don't know, but since this is fun speculation I will admit this match has crossed my mind. The material from both Shakespeare and South Park reminds me of the other. And I've wondered if stuck-up stuffy highbrow actors will be reciting lines from South Park 400 years from now? 🤣

    Mozart. Look at those eyes. A force for his own style.





    Fun speculation.

    Who might Mozart be now? There could be a long list. A genius to the point that excellence is mundane.

    4. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Mozart was afraid of the trumpet as a child. The clarinet would become his favorite instrument, for which he wrote the first concerto.

    6. Mozart was infamous for his toilet humor. We have proof in letters to his sister, parents and most especially his cousin Maria Anna Thekla Mozart. He also had a somewhat mean, mocking sense of humor, which he especially directed at his friend and horn player, Joseph Leutgeb, for whom he composed the four horn concertos.
