POX: Steve Reich

"There is brunch-friendly soft rock music being piped in, and on the pre­vi­ous even­ing the mall hos­ted a live per­form­ance by an Eagles cover band. But Reich, dressed in dark tones and wear­ing his sig­na­ture dark base­ball cap, has come for the waffles, not the music."

It would be funny if he refused to talk about anything but waffles

Glad the article clarified that point, would have definitely expected him to be the type of guy who goes out to breakfast for the soft rock soundtrack and the lore of yesterday’s Eagles cover band

“What do I want? I want life, I want the music to be played, I want the music to be listened to. I want to know people have felt things,” he says. “I’m very grateful that my music has been listened to and appreciated. It’s a great source of happiness.”

Damn I guess success does bring happiness, get stuffed 'making art should be its own reward' people.
