How to get a clean new brain, ready to receive orders!

Go and see Philip Glass and his orchestra perform the music to his film Naqoyqatsi.
That is what Dexter, Anders and I did on Monday evening, in addition to going out for a Chinese dinner beforehand to celebrate Dexter coming back from Cub Camp. All three of us were blown away by Naqoyqatsi (Philip Glass is the man third from the right in the photo). It felt like being in that scene in a film where the hero is brainwashed using millions of high speed images and we left feeling like we had 3 marvellously clean brains, awaiting new orders.....


Na-qoy-qatsi: (nah koy' kahtsee) N. From the Hopi Language. 1. A life of killing each other 2. War as a way of life. 3. (Interpreted) Civilized violence.
