I have politics on my mind these days. I tend to try to point out the obvious.

Bowing
It certainly does look like Obama is bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia. My question is, Has he been there before? If he met the king before he was president, he may just have been doing what it did before. The president does not bow to anyone.
I've done a little of just about everything: sung in choirs, conducted them, sung in amateur and professional opera, performed as the ingenue in Chu Chin Chow, played the mother in a long list of operas, sung solos with professional orchestras, sung recitals, taught pop and classical singing, worked as a professional music critic, acted in and directed plays, and I'm sure other things I have forgotten.
I hold the Doctor of Music with distinction from Indiana University where I studied voice, choral conducting and music history.
As a young person I performed briefly in a German opera company. Later I became interested in musical performance by a computer-synthesizer. My day job was as a systems analyst. When I began this blog, I was still working, but now I am retired.
