The rules of thumb with which we approached our music: Repeating a musical phrase the same way twice needs a hell of a better reason than a-a-b-a form. Never do anything confused that can be done simple. Never do anything dull that can be done interesting.
“…it was too late now. In fact, as far as the United States was concerned, it had never begun at all and so all it would cost the United States was just money: which, his uncle said, was the cheapest thing you could spend or lose: which was why civilization invented it: to be the one substance man could shop with and have a bargain in whatever he bought.”
William Faulkner | “Knight’s Gambit”
