I'm not engaging in an argument with you.
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

And he bitched about this being condescending. That's not what that word means either, actually.
I used the word 'we' rather than 'you' to include myself as someone who might make or has made that mistake. "shrug"

You have already done. And doubled down on it.
So I stated my thought about it, now you want to use that and some word to portray me in that light. Which itself is argumentative. But does this mean you'll stop now?

If Bombadil were to jump on everything Zappa by hating on him with every post he could that would be trolling. That is not the case at all, in fact he started out by saying he was hesitant to post in this thread, that's more of a concern imo as he should feel free to post how he feels as well as long as it's done within the rules of the forum, which his post was.

Thanks for that. 3rd post of this piece in the thread but HEY

one could pick all kind of thing out and say 'different than the other stuff'.
similar to this is One Man, One Vote on "Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention".

this is a work of genius

Boulez later decided to have his group do it, and record it; reportedly FZ did not like it.
I don't know, that's second-hand journalism or something. But I can imagine thinking 'what has he done, and WHY', because this seems definitive if there is such a thing.

This is the real deal.

I searched for night in the thread, but got no hits about this track.

If only users could state the name of the track, instead of just posting youtube vids :pray:

The whole album, Pierre Boulez Conducts Frank Zappa: The Perfect Stranger (1984), is really worth listening. Did Zappa like that or not, I fancy a lot. :)

He saved up to pay for it, so really do hope he enjoyed it.

This is incredible.
Much of this thread, just like Zappa, is full of shit, but if he has more stuff like above, I kinda get the point about his talent.

.jon, seeing that you are a resident of Helsinki.

You are aware of the classic Helsinki show?

No, I will check that out. I'm trying to get a feel of his music inspired by this thread, and trying to get deeper than his pretentious, naive wankery... with moderate success I must say. Guess I just don't enjoy his sense of humour, but apparently he is well capable of beautiful too.

I don't know, I remember something about he didn't.

Here's something:

The melody {...not Pierre Boulez, he's not here, he never was."} is the main one from The Perfect Stranger.

I could be wrong! LOL
It seems like there was a post of the original, then I posted the Ensemble Modern rendition. I don't think I dreamed it but I'm losing my mind, so
