So that's what happened to Mitch Pileggi of The X-Files. Unless that actually is Mitch Pileggi, in which case this joke doesn't work. I don't really care about Mitch Pileggi.
I have a Philip Glass anecdote. Many years ago I took the train to Montpellier, and in the foyer of the station was a big poster for a production of Einstein on the Beach at the local opera house. It struck me that the date was that day's date! I remember thinking "that's today's date". And the production was happening in about twenty minutes. So I went to the opera house and stood outside it. But I've never been to an opera and I have no idea of the etiquette. Can you just buy tickets at the door? I have no idea.
That is my Philip Glass anecdote. According to Google it was 16 March 2012. I remember thinking "I will never have this chance again because he must be in his seventies". Instead I walked around Montpellier and found a free exhibition of photographs by W Eugene Smith. Little tiny prints with red crop marks on them.
I remember he did a remix of a song by S'Express. Philip Glass, not W Eugene Smith. Of an S'Express song. Which made sense because I remember reading that he was an early adopter of samplers - EMU EMUlators - that he used as a compositional aid.

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg "in concert" version of Einstein on the Beach with Suzanne Vega doing the spoken bits.
I never noticed the similarities between "Building" and Pink Floyd's "On the Run" before.

My local Regal cinema is showing Akhnaten on July 26 as part of The Met's summer encore series. Maybe they all are, not certain.
