I think that this is mostly true.
Just remembered how in the 4th grade our desks were organized into groups of four and each group was to compete against each other. Points were earned for good behavior and the group with the most points in the end won candy bars or some shit. For whatever reason, I convinced our team that it would be hilarious to call ourselves the “Yamahas.” All the other kids had team names like the “Frogs” or the “Rainbows” but I found it to be fucking funniest thing in the world to name the team after a silly sounding brand name. …..what?!?

Yeah, ok.
Philip Glass turns 75 tomorrow. Impossible, you say? Given his two dozen operas, reams of orchestral music, virtually uncountable film scores and scads of projects in every discipline, isn’t he like 90 or 100 or 110? Or, judging by his kaleidoscopic connections and collaborators, isn’t he somewhere between 20 and 50, hunkered down among hipsters and plotting his next move toward musical world domination?
