Roman dictator Julius Caesar was stabbed to death on this date in 44 BC. He had been warned to “Beware the Ides of March” by a soothsayer who was letting Caesar know that his life was in danger. That warning, which Caesar ignored, forever imbued that date with a sense of foreboding, but in Roman times the expression “Ides of March” did not necessarily evoke a dark mood. It was simply the standard way of saying March 15.
I’ll admit the songs in this medley have nothing to do with Caesar’s death but the song titles seemed to fit, so I hope you enjoy the “Ides of March” much more than Caesar did.
