The gays will never be accepted. Because they suck too much and too often like Partch.

"He didn't like John Cage's music at all."

"Lou Harrison was the greateous miracle composer of XXth century". Indeed he is! However i don´t know why exist so few documentaries about his life and works and, in other hand, a plenty of about Harry Partch, Terry Riley and John Cage...

In order to fully understand the phrase "go and sin no more" open a Bible and read all of John chapter 8:

And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

What does the five most evil words thing mean?

"Go and sin no more."

He didnt believe in sin in the Christian sense, or restriction of Dionesian desires (?) Then as an example, he likes to drink a lot.

Oh okay, thanks.
