Have you read this?- http://www.henryflynt.org/aesthetics/APchptr10.html not really "dark side", but still a different look at the contexts --- i think that the conflicts had more to do with the personality of G.MACIUNAS + OTHERS (as opposed to "conceptual differences") not to say that there were no conceptual differences (but that has more to do with what DON said) just my opinion of course! --- however the LM.YOUNG issue is very odd i think his "stance" on making recordings available is not my favorite but i can at least understand it on the other "hand" it is a little silly to want someone to pay $$$ so that they can put hay in a piano... i always thought that one of the implications of the '1960' compositions = not only "life into art" (common events as "beauty", "life as composition", etc.) also = "art into life" (that "the composer" was not necessarily a virtuoso, "genius", etc.) maybe i'm "unfairly imposing this reading on the work" i'm certainly interested in "hearing" what others have to "say" about it i like '1960' very much i have no idea how "originality" factors into them "Anne Drogyness" (dn"a"e)
