Musically: Philip Glass, the enigmatic master of hypnotically beautiful repetition, as nature’s sounds often are, as creation must always be from every corner of the universe and through its dark-mattered notes, may be an acquired taste. He’s the sort of musician who might get sneers of derision when you first hear him, especially if the ears are young, which is ironic when you consider that repetitiveness is the essence of pop–deadening, not always soulful or joyful repetition, either: have you ever paid attention to that noise they pipe out of Ikea ceilings and like-sounding department stores? It’s as if they want you out of there as soon as possible. I have no doubt it’s what they play to Guantanamo prisoners. But Glass: his name goes with the music. Once acquired, the taste is difficult to let go. I never thought I’d find myself seeking out Glass. Now I do. Is it him getting old, the mellowness of his older composition? Me getting old, though not nearly as old as him? He was born in 1937. He’s still at it. Here below is his superb Etude N. 8, a surprisingly sentimental bit that–with its joyful sorrow that says: yes, but, and still–I wouldn’t mind played at my funeral.

It would be simple if he knew who they were and he had a gun. Walk in and shoot them and walk out again. There, that’s done; now back to work. He could see himself doing it pointing the gun at three men in a cramped office full of nude photographs and pulling the trigger. It was funny he pictured Leo’s office. But he could also picture himself with a cannonball tennis serve and a flawless backhand, or the forty-five-year-old rookie hitting a fastball into the upper deck at Tiger Stadium. Picturing had nothing to do with doing it. Nor was killing a man in an FW-190 or a Messerschmitt at three hundred yards the same as looking in a man’s face and pulling the trigger. He told himself he would never be able to kill like that, coldly, impersonally. Still, he wished he had a gun. Just in case he was wrong.
–From Elmore Leonard’s Fifty-Two Pickup (1974).
