I enjoy Philip Glass' music.
But if J.S. Bach were Philip Glass, there would be a Philip Glass subreddit with 100,000 members dissecting every single section of each peculiar new album.
One section of a piece would consist of the melody of Lee Greenwood's "Proud to Be an American" somehow fittingly trudging along below Philip Glass music. Another section would overlap three Philip Glass musics with staggered entrances, turning each upside down for a subsequent section.
Yet another piece would have just one Philip Glass music, overdubbed with a Disney movie theme, a Lady Gaga song, and some generic hip hop music he heard while watching a dance competition at the mall.
One double album would consist solely of sophisticated mashups of songs chosen exclusively from the tin pan alley era-- one for each common tempo on the metronome-- served over a nice bed of Philip Glass ostinatos.
After getting banned from SNL for going overtime with a tasteless tin-pan-alley style freestyle rap/dj'ing experiment, Philip Glass would have moved to Dayton, Ohio to write weekly 45 minute religious services in the style of golden age Broadway musicals for a small evangelical church. (Edit: he would also personally perform Philip Glass music at the piano for the service's prelude and postlude.)
