Most Ridiculous Quote of the Week
"There is absolutely nothing artificial about Glenn Gould's playing."
--Bruno Monsaingeon
Polite response: a certain stylization is actually somewhat characteristic of his work. Less polite response: I mean come on, what kind of Kool Aid are you drinking? Is there anything NOT artificial about his playing?

Runner-Up Favorite Quote of the Week
A photographer friend is looking desperately for an apartment, and has been in email contact with all sorts of persons to that end. He received the following philosophical missive which seems to stray off the subject of subletting considerably:
"Thanks for giving the world nice photos and for being Gay. I'm not Gay, but I support full Gays rights, and I wish that I would wake up in the morning and find the 95 percent of the world population has turned Gay. The world would for sure be a better place. This might save the world because it's too over populated and mother nature doesn't have a chance."

What's wrong with "artificial" anyway? After all, the root of "artificial" is "art".
"Thus lies Art, hid by his own artifice" -- Ovid
(or, maybe, the epitaph of a guy named Art!)
Les Paul is the funky one
try egg salad with watercress instead of iceberg, i think that would go better with sour mash
The egg salad sounds yummy, but I wouldn't dare order such a sandwich from the corner coffee shop.
Does Gould's grunting count as being non-artificial?
Oh my...
More often than not this blog gives me a headache. I'm still trying to sort out if that's a good thing or not. :)
I vote for egg salad with a decent cup of English tea. Americans drink far too much alcohol as it is. Why ruin a wonderful egg salad sandwich experience with something as trite as alcohol?
Really? White bread and iceberg lettuce? I'm surprised. I'm accustomed to musicians eating organic. Oh, wait. I live in California. hmmm. My teacher is from Berkeley. That would explain it.
May you always enjoy good health despite limitless chips, Swiss crepes and white bread.
Overheard from an old guy: "What's all this fuss about 'same-sex marriages'? The wife and I been havin' the same sex for 35 years!"
Thank you very much for it!
That's so interesting, isn't it?
I was married for 16 years to a loving mother and wife. We had 2 children together who are now 11 & 13. I reconnected with an old girlfriend from college on Facebook and we began an affair and I left my wife. The woman I had an affair with is a wonderful woman and I love her too and our kids had begun accepting the situation and my wife has kind of moved on, but not in love with the man she is seeing. I thought I fell out of love with my wife and I felt terrible about what I did to her - she is a good woman and I don't know what came over me. I decided to try and get her back and I was recommended to Lord Zakuza for help to get reunited with my wife and within 48 hours after I made contact with Lord Zakuza my wife decided to work things out with me and now we are back together with our children living as one happy family... I really don't know the words to use in appreciation of what Lord Zakuza did for me but I will say thank you sir for reuniting I and my family back. For those in trying times with their marriages or relationship can WhatsApp Lord Zakuza for help or text with this number +1 740-573-9483 or you can send him an email to Lordzakuza7@gmail.com
