Re: [microsound] [OT] Philip Glass



I also saw a live _Koyaanisqatsi_ performance way back in the day in
Lubbock, Texas, of all things, when I was an undergraduate at Texas Tech. I
was also moved to tears. Just awesome, and for someone whose concept of
electronic music at the time was only Tangerine Dream (who I also love), it
was a mind-opening experience that led me to take experimental music classes
though an English lit major. So, yeah, life-changing.

Funnily enough, and though I didn't know her yet as my partner, my wife was
also in the crowd, a high school junior or senior. She and her friend
stumbled into the after-performance reception, where they were mistaken by
Philip Glass groupies by one keyboardist who promptly invited these
underaged beauties to his hotel room! I believe one of them spilt some
champagne on him on their way out the door. Ah, fame, fame, what's your
name?
