re: Conductor John McGlinn has Passed Away
My name is Gerard Stropnicky, and John and I were friends when we were Northwestern together. I think I was one of his few friends at the time -- he was so brilliant, so opinionated that he tended even then to alienate many people. I just didn't let it bother me; I rather enjoyed his company. John's apartment was down the hall from mine, and we ended up hanging out together quite a bit. We bonded over "Popcorn and Monty Python on TV" for a score of Sunday nights. He bamboozled me into writing...
