Appomattox

A new opera will be premiered next month in SF. Appomattox, music by minimalist Phillip Glass. Phillip Glass? The singers don’t need a range. They just need a note! I hope they stage it like his Koyaanisqatsi -time lapse. I have to be in bed early. (Just kidding- sounds fascinating)
Would you believe that the spellchecker had no IDEA what to do with Koyaanisqatsi.

When the movie came out, my friend and I imagined two old Hopis reminiscing:

HOPI 1: I don't know what's wrong with kids today with all their koyaanisqatsi.
HOPI 2: Yeah, not like us. In OUR day, WE were qatsi!
HOPI 1: Damn right.
