Listen to a bit of Weill: Threepenny Opera ("Mack the Knife").
Who knows a foreign language? Evan knows "gutter Spanish," like "Debbie hace Dallas."
Sullivan: What is your responsibility to history?
What do you want people to know about you as a composer?
Joe doesn't care what people say about him, "long as they tell the truth."
Subjectivity isn't the question. What objectively can we say about music.
Sullivan: I love you = You're alive.
Joe: Music is an all-powerful force.
Where are the women composers?
Sullivan burned his bras.
3:08 - Marina showed up. Isn't it ironic...
Kevin W. wants to die.
Roger: lack of women composers is due to lack of role models.
45 minutes later: "back to the original issue of composers and history..."
Your opinion of musical worth is based on how much you know about the music.
Marina thinks the undergrads are dumb and ill-informed.
Everyone thinks she's just being a bitch.
Cultural value of composers...?
Sullivan doesn't know what we're talking about either.
Joe brings up an Apple Jacks commercial from the early 90s.
3:43 - Igor shows up. He'll have an opinion...
Sullivan: We should disagree about things.
Agreement is a destructive force.
Sullivan: something about humping a bear?
Still, nobody knows what we're talking about.
Augusta Reed Thomas's jazz band piece (BINGO!)
Sullivan calls Evan a mindless peon.
European countries are limiting support of the arts, following the American model.
