...Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset once compared a work of art to a window through which life can be seen without the need to account for the structure, transparency and color of the windowpane. Nowadays, most artists would argue that quite the reverse is true. With cameras available to record the view behind the windowpane, the artist must concentrate on making his window preeminent. In fact, the 20th century has witnessed the development of a genre that consists of windows seen through other windows: in other words, works of art that deal with other works...

And, in line with this, the composer has seen to it that his show is the first to use recording-studio electronics in a Broadway theatre.

Slightly longer then a year ago records went for $2.40 apiece. Who's going to buy them when they cost twice as much? The people who have twice...
...Have you seen the big full page rock lp ads in all the press recently, I ask you. Have you seen them? Haven't you. They are there because the companies ar getting ready for the blitz. And who gets blitzed when the companies blitz? Not the stores: they just tack it onto the tag. The guy who pays gets blitzed. And who pays? The consumer pays...
