real life 1983 doctor diagnoses the public with mash withdrawal in this 1983 nyt mash finale write-up
wait. waitwaitwait i am having thoughts.
there is no way charles did not have very strong (negative) opinions about contemporary classical music
he gets a tape from honoria in fall 1952 telling him how some guy named john cage composed a piece that is performed by. not playing your instruments. instead it calls for the audience to consider the music that's always around them. it's called 4'33''
he is outraged. he sends her a tirade detailing how these new age thinkers are intent on destroying one of the last forms of truly civilized culture and he would sooner attend a crooner concert than any symphony that would stoop so low as to feature pieces by modernist hacks
and then
he can't listen to music anymore
he goes home and he can't listen to music anymore.
but one day he's sitting with honoria, looking at the new england autumn stretched out in front of them and he hears the leaves rustling, and the soft rush of water of a nearby stream and he feels the sun on his face
and honoria glances over and asks for the time; maybe they'd better be getting back to the house
he checks his wristwatch
it's 4:33
and maybe. maybe music isn't gone from his life.
your honor I hate them <3
