Chopin's 200th

Today is Frederic Chopin's 200th birthday. I wonder which contemporary composer's 200 birthday will be celebrated 130-170 years from now? Philip Glass? Someone like John Williams? Or will it be a Bono, a Madonna or a Sting?

Will advances in technology help find the stolen art? I'm a junky for news about the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist (a theft of 13 pieces of art which included three Rembrandts and a Vermeer and remains the world's largest art theft in dollar value). So, as we approach the 20 anniversary of that fateful night, I'm thrilled...
