Re: [LAU] Declination: Music made with Linux

Gordon JC Pearce wrote: I'm not a Zappa fan, always thought he was just too derivative (though an excellent guitarist), but I did agree with his assertion that we needed more humor in music. The whole thing re: Patrick's music would make a nice addendum to Slonimsky's Lexicon Of Musical Invective. Patrick, you may be inspired by this commentary from Max Reger on a critic's unflattering review of one of Reger's pieces: "I am now sitting in the smallest room of my house. I have your review in front of me. Soon it will all be behind me." The Lexicon is *the* corrective for swelled heads and broken hearts. Best, dp
