Wanna here my story about meeting Philip Glass? (Actually, the story about how I met Robert Wilson is actually better).

Thank you very much for sharing the Philip Class URL.

I sent the URL to an old friend (who also enjoys Philip Glass) and he answered back with the following URL.

Two Philip Glass stories

Eric Promislow — Tue, 10 Feb 2004 13:49:00 GMT

Two quick stories I heard about Glass's taxi-driving days in the early '70s:

1. One of those timeless Park Avenue matrons gets in his cab, looks at the name and picture in the back seat, taps on the glass to get his attention, and says, "Young man, did you know you have the same name as a famous composer?"

2. After spending what seems like hours in traffic, a customer complains that he's going in circles. Glass replies that it may seem that way on the surface, but they are truly zeroing in on their final destination.
