Spots Occasional Concerts

More From Archibald MacLeish

Our minds thus grow in spots; and like grease-spots, the spots spread. but we let them spread as little as possible: we keep unaltered as much of our old knowledge, as many of our old prejudices and beliefs, as we can. we patch and tinker more than we renew. the novelty soaks in; it stains the ancient mass; but it is also tinged by what absorbs it.

I think i'm really part of a whole generational movement in a way. i think a lot of other people since and during this time have gotten interested in writing what we can still call experimental music. it's not commercial music. and it's really a concert music, but a concert music for our time. and wanting to find the audience, because we've discovered the audience is really there. those became really clear with einstein on the beach.

We're dealing with music that is being played by traditional instruments in a specifically built building called a concert hall. but classical is not - the reference is wrong, because classical on one hand refers to one period in musical history, which is mozart, hayden, beethoven, which is a fine period in musical history, but it was a while ago.on the other hand, it sort of alludes to some kind of "class," which a, is not true; b, is kind of detrimental to the whole idea. because the point is that this music is available and it's actually relatively reasonably priced.

The repressed memory is like a noisy intruder being thrown out of the concert hall. you can throw him out, but he will bang on the door and continue to disturb the concert. the analyst opens the door and says, if you promise to behave yourself, you can come back in.

My dad dragged me to a bruce springsteen concert as a kid. it was my first concert, but i fell asleep in the middle. my second concert was weezer on the pinkerton tour, and pinkerton is the reason why im doing this.

Going to a concert can sometimes be very difficult. it can be a long journey. there's the ticket prices. but when the music goes to the community - not the community coming to the concert - they say, 'wow! i didn't know that this music was so amazing!
