Philip Glass kicks ass.
Yes he does! Welcome to the 1970s!
Yeah, but does he have class?
Philip Glass kicks ass alas.
Philip Glass kicks ass alas.
Short longer Glass short longer longer shorter Philip Glass.
Music in Twelve Parts on the shorter longer four-hour Glass alas Philip Glass kicks ass.
But is there a Philip Glarse for us in the old world?
Koyaanisqatsi and a buzz, I take it?

That made me laugh Balance.
Is Kicks Ass his new work?
I’m imaging a percussionist spending 16 hours pounding on 8 perfectly tuned buttocks.
I tried that one on a symphony cellist once. That was the first time I had ever heard someone laugh hysterically at a knock-knock joke.
That would be:Warning, not safe for work and crosses the line from art into porn.Search for “Taiko Traditional Japanese drum line” on site XVideos.
Posting drunk on a message board? Life out of balance, indeed!
One of my favorite music jokes.
Here’s another one, not nearly as funny:
Q: What do you get when you play Philip Glass music backwards?
A: Philip Glass music.
I’ll do my best to post sober at some point. It’ll probably not be this decade though.
I blame Philip Glass for the autism epidemic.
Seriously, though, I do like him. The first part of Satyagraha is my favorite contemporary classical work, and Glassworks definitely soothes frayed nerves. But I understand why people can’t stand that stuff.
Ever hear PDQ Bach’s parody of Mr. Glass? It includes “Koya Hotsy Totsy”, which says it all in my book. I’ve never been able to take PG seriously.
Peter Schickele (PDQB) and PG were classmates at Juilliard, for whatever that adds to the story.
Here’s some of his work on Glass. (YouTube)
