Interesting[edit]

This is a very interesting Glass album (what do we call them these days? Albums, CD's, Downloads?) Different from the majority of Glass in that he involved such creative souls to collaborate. I love Glass being singular, but a few tracks on this make my eyes wet. "Love needs a shave" what a great lyric... and so true. A great collection of thoughts and feelings on this set of songs that are passionate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camelmeister (talk • contribs) 14:31, 27 November 2005‎

Album art[edit]

Question: Would it be appropriate to mention that the album art was created by Robert Mapplethorpe? Because this album was so collaborative, it's relevant that this concept extends to even the artwork. Jestabear 18:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Makes perfect sense to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.161.125.254 (talk) 09:12, 10 August 2007

Minimalist[edit]

I am removing references to Philip Glass being a minimalist, since neither he, nor musical critics, consider his work to be minimalist. --Horse Badorties 13:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Liquid Days cover.jpg[edit]

Image:Liquid Days cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Possible changes and a concern[edit]

I have added a possible citation for the quote as last required at Revision 806274677, though I am personally doubtful that it is valid, as it may be considered to come from a source closely affiliated with the subject. That, and the source itself still does not exactly cite when or where Glass said this amazingly elusive quote (the internet has been zero help apart from this).

I am also somewhat concerned as to the original content of this article, as some of it would seem to appear on the webpage provided in the citation, though without a date on the webpage it is hard to know who lay the original egg. Any help?

I'm not the biggest fan of that citation either, so I've removed it. However, your concerns about the origin of the Wikipedia article's content led me to dig a bit deeper. As a result, with the help of the external link from the first version of the article, I found a citation for the quote on three major versions of Philip Glass's website: the 2005 and 2016 versions from the Wayback Machine and the current version of the site (in the notes tab, which isn't well-indexed by search engines, hence why you didn't find it). I've added a citation to the 2016 version of the official website because that's the latest one that is easy to cite. Graham87 12:11, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
