Joe's probably right. I'm reminded of the 1980's when several aged Soviet leaders died in office a few months apart, and the state-run television there each time went to showing orchestras playing somber classical music. (Never mind the politics, please; these were the country's leaders.)
Also here on the NYRMB, someone yesterday mentioned a radio host in New Orleans playing an hour of Louis Armstrong for comfort.
