He'd be a hundred and five which is a feat in itself but also means he's seen pretty much everything the 20th century had to offer and therefore uniquely placed to look forward.<BR/><BR/>Failing that, my second choice would be Nico Muhly for the simple reason that I can't begin to imagine what he would come up with and that is exciting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991721412361909265.post-29961535651355765052009-01-28T16:47:00.000-05:002009-01-28T16:47:00.000-05:00Ohmygosh, brilliant.

Also, this would have caused Juan Williams to completely lose his shit a few days earlier than he did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
