They are running a promo on our local public radio station for an upcoming
interview with a professional cellist.

Apparently this cellist played the part of a cellist (type casting) in a TV
show or TV movie recently where his character goes crazy and harpoons the
concertmaster. I presume with the spike on the cello. Sorry I don't have
more details.
