So the police have now decided they will investigate the brawl. And the 44-year-old man who lost his shirt has been identified as Bourne resident Michael Hallam.

Alice, from Weymouth, is the first to post her POPSearch audition on YouTube. Here's her stab at "Now That I've Seen Her," from Miss Saigon.

I'm going to do my best to complete our Symphony Hall brawl coverage with this story, as so many smart people have been telling me our interest is somehow a sign of the decline of civilization.

And wait, the Boston Symphony Orchestra has launched a new website.

Smoke in the movies and put your PG-13 rating at risk.

Is the single killing the music industry?

Style maven Christopher Muther has filed an important comment on the Symphony hall brawl. It concerns the decision by one of the men involved to wear no undershirt.

"It's always important to wear a T-shirt underneath a dress shirt. A T-shirt can act as a sponge for gents who suffer from excess sweating, sparing your outer shirt from looking like you're a contestant in a wet T-shirt contest. It can also keep pesky chest hairs from randomly poking through open seams. Last night's Symphony Hall brawl now gives you a new reason to wear a T-shirt. In case you are dragged out of your seat for fighting at a Pops concert, you won't offend fellow concert-goers by flashing your man-breasts when your dress shirt becomes unbuttoned in the tussle. There's nothing worse than seeing grainy footage of your un-manscaped chest on CNN."

Here's a nice clear clip of last night's fight in the second balcony, and here's a grainier video which shows Pops conductor Keith Lockhart stopped the performance briefly.

Now this doesn't happen often.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra is losing one of its younger players. Violinist Marvin Moon has been hired by the Philadelphia Orchestra. I spoke to Moon for this piece last year.

Tomorrow afternoon Mayor Menino will be part of a groundbreaking ceremony for the Paramount Center, an Emerson College project that calls for renovating the former Boston movie house, turning it into a concert hall. An adjoining space will have, among other things, a black box theater, screening room, rehearsal spaces and a sound stage.

The blogosphere has been chatting about the Netanyahu family's decision to pull "To Pay the Price" from the New Rep. Click here, here, and here for a taste of the discussion.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has hired Noah Schneiderman as its new chief financial officer. Schneiderman, a Dartmouth graduate who lives in Needham, was the founder and president of NRS Consulting, a firm whose clients included Bank of America, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, CB Richard Ellis, Harvard University, and the Gardner Museum. Before that, he was capital finance manager for the Massachusetts State College Building Authority.

I think he also painted this.

Remember POPSearch, that contest cribbed from "American Idol" that led to Tracy Silva's star turn on the Esplanade? POPSearch is back, and with a new twist. You can audition by posting a clip on YouTube. Go here. Pops conductor Keith Lockhart's intro (below) is up already.

The New Repertory Theatre had been planning to pair the controversial "My Name Is Rachel Corrie," about the pro-Palestinian American activist who dies on the West Bank, with "To Pay the Price," the story of Jonathan "Yoni" Netanyahu, the lone Israeli military person killed in the daring hostage rescue mission at Entebbe Airport.

No dice, said Iddo Netanyahu, one of Yoni's brothers. (His other brother, Benjamin, is the former Israeli prime minister.)

"My Name is Rachel Corrie" will now rotate with "Pieces," another one woman play centered around the Middle East conflict.

The Late Rachel Corrie

Melissa Kuronen, the longtime director of communications for the Institute of Contemporary Art, is leaving to take a position with an architectural firm in New York City. Kuronen, who worked at the Gardner Museum before heading to the ICA in 2000, will be director of communications at R.M. Kliment and Frances Halsband Architects. Kuronen tells us she'll be commuting between New York and Boston as her husband, Darcy, remains curator of musical instruments at the Museum of Fine Arts.

I saw Jack White's other band, the Raconteurs, open for Dylan at the Agganis Arena back in November. Decent show, but nothing to make me forget his first calling, the White Stripes. Now word arrives that Meg and Jack are back in town this summer, playing July 23rd at the Agganis. Tickets go on sale Friday, at 10 a.m.

Other shows and events worth noting:

- Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops open their season tomorrow night with Ben Folds in the fold.

- The Boston Theater Marathon takes place May 20, with 51 New England companies paired with 51 New England playwrights and lots of actors. The marathon takes place from 12 noon until 10 p.m. at the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion on Tremont Street. Go here for more information.

At 12:42 p.m., on New England Cable News, I'll be interviewing Museum of Fine Arts curator Carol Troyen about the Edward Hopper exhibition.

A fascinating nugget within Matthew Erikson's preview of a Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra concert:

According to recent figures from the American Symphony Orchestra League, Beethoven's Ninth is becoming even more popular in American concert halls. In the 2005-06 season, it was performed 72 times by professional orchestras, compared with 45 times two seasons before. The piece has surpassed crowd pleasers such as the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, Brahms' Symphony No. 1 and Beethoven's Fifth.

"Radio Golf" opens on Broadway, but not without some help from marketing.

CultureGrrl has some juicy info from the Clark, though director Michael Conforti wouldn't come clean with the "big news" coming in a few months.

Is Jann Wenner keeping the Monkees from getting Rock and Roll Hall of Fame consideration? Maybe it's time somebody remind Jann of this.

I promised to refrain. But this just isn't right.

Looking to run the “only museum in the Western Hemisphere entirely devoted to the study of arms and armor?” The Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester is hiring. Kent Dur Russell resigned last year, and the trustees are looking to find his replacement. No mention of money in the job listing, though in the most recent I.R.S. filing, the Higgins paid Russell $83,745.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time on Roger. Leave that to the sports guys. But let the latest chapter in the Clemens sweepstakes make one thing clear: It is all about the money.

Roger could have come back to Boston, closed the "twilight of his career" chapter, and proved he's about more than greenbacks by actually taking less to suit up for the Sox. But who can blame him. He's got so many K's to feed.

What's more, I really didn't want Clemens back, at least the aging, goatee'd Clemens of recent years. I wanted the guy I first saw pitch as a kid during the Ralph Houk era, and skinny Roger ain't walking through that door.

Old Roger

The Roger I wanted back
