What do you think TED stands for? I’ll give you a hint, the E stands for entertainment. TED events have always had music.

To go listen to an artist that doesn’t have a snobbish ear for music is a gay Paree thing. We can all sit around sipping wine, smoking clove cigarettes and listen to people who are talented in this style of music. 🗼🤭

This is absolutely not the first time music has been on this channel.
And “The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference […]” is literally the first line of the channel description.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. Some perhaps found this entertaining, however, I am not one who did. I wish the E stood for Educational.

If I have it right, the importance of this performance is the performer is not wearing hijab and the music choice is also of some importance.
