I have read "the books" and have not seen the comparisons in the same light
that you apparently have.

 <<So tell me, why is it that writers who have studied Gould and music for
 years can see a connection but others on this list can't?  Why do you find
 it so offensive when a few of us take up a topic that books on Gould also
 touch upon?   If the Glenn Gould magazine will have an article especially
 written for them that makes connections between the two, why is it some
 people keep refusing, without having studied Cage or modern art, to see any
 comparison, and actually telling others on the list to stop talking about it
 in quite a rude and public manner?  Why can't people do that offlist instead
 of sending it to all 312 of us?  It makes me want to do things like this,
 defend myself in public.>>

What makes you come to the conclusion that I haven't studied music or art?!
Just for the record, I'm a classical guitarist. I wasn't rude. Perhaps you're
too sensitive. Who's ranting now in a public forum? Look at your own posts
before critisizing others'.

<< Why not try to tell us what is wrong with the comparisons instead of simply
 saying that they are wrong and shouldn't have been made in the first place?
 Why not try to help us see your point of view instead of yelling at us and
 Cage and people who think he made have had a clever idea or two?>>

Who's "yelling"? This is a Gould discussion list, not Cage. I see nothing
"clever" about Cages' act.

<<(and by the way Evalynne if you'd bothered to read  more closely to some of
 these posts on Cage you'd know there is a Cage mailing list.  Bob sent it to
 us.  Do any of you people that are so critical of Cage know much about him
 or his compositions or the zeitgeist which Gould emerged from, Cage being a
 part of it?>>

I do know that there's a Cage mailing list. I was suggesting that you might
be happier there.

<< and I see that every message Evalynne sends has a link to her lamps
 that are for sale.  What does that have to do with Gould?>>

Lol...I do not sell lamps. My link is for my glass art beads. I must have
really hit a nerve with you.
