There were definitely Patton fans there and they probably loved what he did. It was loud and dissonant. I would've rather just seen Laurie and the cellist. Mind you, the show was still entertaining. Laurie did her storytelling and her tale of Lou's Tai Chi passion was intriguing. I like to think I had some creative hand in inspiring the show because at one of our previous meetings, I brought up the lyrical quality of quanpu, literally 'fist lyrics', the poetic way Kung Fu moves are described. I would've brought it up on our phone chat this week, but that was only about 15 minutes long because we both had things to do and I was focused on getting some facts straight for the article.
I remember those PBS vids too. Those were pre-MTV and really changed my view on art, really opened me up to what it might be. I've told Laurie that a few times, when I start to fanboy, how much of an effect her works had on my thinking as a youth. It amazes me that I have these casual conversations about art with her. She remains an inspiration to me and I feel truly blessed to have a dialog with her.
