Oh, I had completely forgotten that Andrew Kazdin wrote about that! He 
seemed to be upset that GG was having fun. ;-) I'm glad we finally have 
another perspective on that relationship.

Hmmmm. That's a good point. Actually I always thought the Intermezzi 
sounded more ... sensual than sexy. I know a lot of people think of GG only 
as the serious-looking guy in the black coat, hat, scarf, and gloves. But 
come on, his music always made it clear there was more than that to him.
