That is pretty brilliant for visually depicting his minimalism in your sendup meme!

Thanks but it's far from brilliant. Anyone could've created this. In fact, I'm sure it's been done many times before.

I like Glass - not everything, and not in large doses either, but there are a good many works of his I like.

Maybe it's minimalism that you don't like, John ? I didn't for many years.

I like Minimalism but not of the American variety. I do like Pärt and Górecki quite a bit for example.

Good point. I like Pärt and Gorecki too. They are indeed totally different from Glass.

Indeed. I might throw in Silvestrov with this particular group.

Sort of.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

It was in a "retweeted" item on Laurence Tribe's Twitter page. I don't have a Twitter account and never will, but some people actually tweet useful information on occasion.  ;)

BTW, following the above link I was made aware of the gaffe "John Hopkins" which occurred in the original. Slipped by when I first read it.  ;D

Hopefully he owns every single one of those books.
I certainly wouldn't want to have an overdue library book and wonder where I put it  ???
