  • OK, I know this is just awful –

    “Partch had a knack for finding new supporters or patrons” — cuts to —

    Partch gazing longingly at boys playing baseball –

    *ducks*

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

  • oh wow, what was the title of that last poem he read aloud? please, thank you :)

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

    :)

  • the footage of John Cage in this is utterly hilarious.

  • "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...

  • Oh okay, thanks.

  • "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.
