Talk:Julius Eastman

Untitled
Some of the information here comes from Eastman's own bio as given in a concert program at a concert he gave at Northwestern University in January, 1980. Kylegann 21:46, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Autobiographical addition
Whoa, who put this in:


 * I assisted Julius Eastman in producing an avant garde play, probably 'Stay on it', in the winter of 1973 or 74 in New York City.... Looking back at it now i think his genius (and dementia) was expressed using himself as a metaphore for his music.....much as a reversal of conventional performing arts where the music is a metaphore for the slithering, tormented artist trying to get inside of the audiences psyche....

And so on. It strikes me that Wikipedia is hardly the place. If you want this material included, state it as fact or documentable interpretation. Kylegann 17:36, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

The "elderly" Cage...
Is it relevant that Cage was "elderly" as far as him being incensed regarding the concert of his music with homoerotic interpolations by Eastman? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Invulgo (talk • contribs) 14:11, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Elderly Cage
I also question the relevance of identifying Cage as "elderly." He was 63 years old in 1975 - subjectively far from elderly.

The quoted Cage statement regarding Eastman's ego also needs a citation. With the recent Blume releases of Eastman's work, this John Cage, Julius Eastman anecdote is appearing around the internet. I presume it is being pulled from the Wikipedia page. --King Cream (talk) 04:28, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Cause of death
This video claims that scholars and people around Eastman at the time of his death unanimously agree that he actually died of AIDS. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
