Results? “A Maestro for the Masses”
WSJ: Friday, June 11, 2010
Dutch conductor and violinist André Rieu is the king of 'crossover' classical music.
At concerts Mr. Rieu grossed about $96 million on tour in 2009.
500,000 people attending 94 shows.
That haul landed him at No. 6 among the world's top touring acts, according to Billboard's 2009 tally—ranked just below U2, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen, and above Britney Spears, Coldplay and Metallica.

Why is it so hard to imagine?
Brain has a mind map that helps to organize reality
There is no reality—perceptions
What you BELIEVE is what you SEE!
Expectations lead you to select what you will see
Have to push beyond or you will see, feel and think that everything is more of the same.
So, let’s reverse everything. Innovation Games are fun.
