The proposal to increase Delaware’s minimum raise to $15 an hour over the next several years got a House committee hearing longer than a Sergio Leone spaghetti western yesterday. It could have used a theme song from Ennio Morricone, the Italian composer most famous for scoring Leone’s “Dollars” trilogy.
Morricone’s scores were one reason those Leone movies seemed to drag. He wrote much of the music before filming started, working from just the printed script, and Leone liked the results so much he edited scenes to fit the the compositions.
