I was listening to the Sunday Edition on my way to Power to Play and they were talking the Reinvention of J.S. Bach. Paul Elie wrote a book on five composers/performers who brought Bach to mainstream appeal… which had me wonder…. was Bach underground? Was he the first hipster?
1) Vintage outfit (X)
2) Bizarre instruments (X) a cello? what even is that?
3) You had to see him in the tiny, out of the way church to really get it and he was a favourite of critics and other musicians. “A musician’s musician” which is pretty much a synonym for Hipster. (X)
J.S. Bach, a genuine original. I think that is probably trademarked by some company…. but yeah. Stud.
Go with yourself.
