this motif of repetition that showed up in s&i keeps appearing in daily life – more so for myself than for simon – it seems that the conditioning that I received in front of countless repetitive television programs has increased my immunity to boredom – two hours of mtv, five hours of charity concert… i love the idea that we came up with of cds exploring the crack and hiss of a record as a sound effect… how can my generation find its identity when even our music is somebody else’s revisited? has the disillusionment spread so far? i noted a play called photocopies of god… yes, even that reassurance of the insecure is being recreated in new wave forms, new age declarations.
