<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>GG was a HOMO-TECHNOLOGIENS before than a homo-telefoniens (a
superb speaker but surely not a very good listener) and imho it
should be also very intersting to discuss about it's truly "pioneering"
conceptions about the creative-interactive-listener. Actually still pioneering
after 30 years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>With that said, about the list contributions,
what honestly annoys me in F_Minor are those minor (or zero) contributors
that from time to time (or ages to ages) writes only (or most of all) to
complain.<BR>I'm quite sick of this snobbish attitude ( usually from subscribers
with HYPER POMPOUS SELF-ADVERTISING papyrus job sign ) and I honestly
couldn't care less about who someone is or isn't, or if their blood is blue or
red. <BR>Since this is an old-fashioned mailing list system, probably not so
technologically suitable to the homo-technologiens is the list's subject, every
subscriber is welcome to bring his/her own contribution, whatever it is, and if
someone doesn't like it simply hit the unsubscribe button, that's all, but
please stop once for all with your sterile and boring complaints, thanks.

<DIV>Very well said, Mary! Too much gossip on f_minor recently,
and too much pompous self-advertising.</DIV>
<DIV>My question is: where has the music gone? Maybe we should be more
concerned with Glenn's originality, his outstanding contribution to
contemporsry music-making, the depth of his thought - often even when he
was apparently joking, than with his personal life, his weaknesses, and
his oddities.</DIV>

size=+1>Your phone rings late at night but it's not a family emergency, it's
Gould. Some bloody nerve.<BR><BR>There's not much to be gleaned from the
'new' Gould film on GG's loquaciousness. There's not a lot to be gleaned at
all. The film skims flat stones across calmed waters and it seems to me that
the whole point<BR>of the exercise was to elucidate Gould's
heterosexuality.<BR><BR>As for Gould and Twitter and the rest: Don't you get
it? He loved the human voice. Loved it so much that he sought out trunk
lines. Loved it long distance as well as whispered into his weirdly formed
right ear. The man was so utterly attuned to sound that it makes me outraged
at the nonsense people are trying to make of his 'philosophy', trying to
turn it all into some early IT gospel.<BR><BR>Gould had more in common with
Cocteau than with Ballmer.<BR><BR>Mary
