Yep, I'm a hack in philosophy!...Heh, heh, heh!<br /><br />Yep, I'm a hack in philosophy!<br /><br />There is this story about Wanda Landowska, the famous harpsichordist, that she had a little hand-written note somewhere in one of her scores. Probably a particularly soulful moment in Bach. The note read "look up". With a particularly melting expression no doubt.Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-27869959220154023642013-01-21T17:16:56.409-06:002013-01-21T17:16:56.409-06:00I know you can't keep it up. A little is fine ...I know you can't keep it up. A little is fine for spice of life, a lot gets boring. <br /><br />But your last couple a posts have been high LARRY us!!!<br /><br />Including the comment replies. "But why don't I write on X and Y?" Tune in tomorrow! <br /> <br />I will try fervently to remember and make use of "all soulful expressions and tossing of hair". It's a classic born! <br /><br />OK, in musicology you are something else beyond beyond artiste-or-whatever. <br /><br />But in philosophy you are a hack. Me too (less so maybe). I have some friends who are "well known" philosophers on a friendly basis. Pretty much all hacks. (Of course we are too polite to point that out to each other.) Hospital management gurus and consultants? Every one a hack. Or "all soulful expressions and tossing of hair". C'est la vie, my friend. <br /><br />With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck, Someone else'll do the blinkin' work! <br />With a little bit...with a little bit... With a little bit of luck you'll never work! <br /><br />Keep it up, Maestro! Brilliant!RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404263429983838122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-13625909580930296902013-01-20T07:52:31.654-06:002013-01-20T07:52:31.654-06:00Glad to oblige!
