I have seen virtually nothing written about Adolphe Sax’s personal life, and I’ve seen nothing written about whether he had a sense of humour or liked to laugh. I’m hoping he did, because otherwise he’s likely spinning in his grave right now. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Oh, did you happen to notice that even toy saxophones put out for display tend to get their mouthpieces put on upside down? The people who put up this tribute to Adolphe Sax are no better than the clowns who sell horns on eBay and don’t know which way is up and which way is down<\/a>. Jeez… Oh, piss on it… So we know of at least two things that were done in Brussels to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Adolphe Sax’s birth: Sax200<\/a> was held, and the most famous fountain in the city was dressed in a suit and saxophone. Was other stuff going on as well? Most likely, but for pure comedic value, Manneken Pis would have stolen the show. And that could just piss a lot of people off. <\/a> Well Antonio Ponte was kind enough to provide a link to the manneken-pis site<\/a>, but unfortunately I can’t read French. Even without running the Google Translate program on the site, it’s pretty clear that yes indeed, this little pissing sculpture must be a commemoration of Adolphe Sax<\/a>.<\/p>\nPiss on it #2<\/h2>\n
