About 4 years ago I became obsessed with classical music. Many of my long term readers probably noticed an uptick of classical music pieces being used here, references to certain composers and orchestras. When I get interested in something, anything, I tend to overdo it and get immersed in it.
At any rate, I discovered Philip Glass’s music and was immediately sold. If you’re listening to Glass, you either think he’s a complete moron, or a genius.
This documentary about him is more than just the music. It highlights his struggles, the journey from NYC taxi cab driver to a world renowned composer.
I enjoyed it a great deal and I hope you do too.

Minimalistic classical music is one of my favorite genres. Very underappreciated by the masses. Check out John Adams as well…. One of my favorite composers.
Funny. it always comes down to love and sex.

I saw Einstein on the beach in early 90s. A great HS teacher of mine was cool enough to organize a trip for us. My first experience with his music and don’t remember much but every time you have brought it up the past few years has made me want to check it out again.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to watch the new Pixar film, Inside Out, I highly recommend you do.
This was a terrific film. I had no idea who Phillip Glass was other than your occasional references. Amazing man. Great recommendation – thanks.
