1.  Article in the Wall Street Journal on Philip Glass is pretty wonderful, but I gotta say, there is a pretty large school of people that would argue the claim that to “anyone familiar with his music, Philip Glass is the original Minimalist.”  I’ll agree that Phil is definitely one of the original minimalists, but not the original one.

2. You wake up one day, and not only do you find out you are Charles Manson’s son, but some douchebag commenter on the Dangerous Minds article about your discovery says you look like Nathan Lane.  While all that sucks, at least you can rest assured that your pop technically isn’t a serial killer like it states in the same article.  He just had his followers do all that dirty work.
