>.But what about that poor piano that could have been used by someone who was in need of a piano. I find this exhibition rather selfish. Sorry,  but I love music instruments; they have a life and should be preserved  rather than destroyed.

>I can't imagine Gould making such a public display nor wantonly destroying a valuable instrument. This is ego masquerading as commentary and critique of the music business.  Glenn would have written an essay, which of course he did.  Who could imagine imagine him dropping a piano from a helicopter?!   Absurd!        Dorian


No, of course he wouldnt have done it for real. He would have made a weird fantasy radio documentary about it, complete with sound effects and strange voices with even stranger accents.
