    Is this a huge, and expensive homage to Danny Boyle's films?

    I wonder if this pause is a way of getting around the IOCs refusal to mark 40 years since Munich?

    Too political to bring up imo.

    If you mean the quiet piece played over the memorial wall, it was An Ending - Ascent by Brian Eno.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
