I came to Bach through the movie <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SlaughterhouseFive" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SlaughterhouseFive</a> which I think I saw when I was 17 (1975?). The soundtrack music was selected by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GlennGould" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GlennGould</a>, and included <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BrandenburgConcerto" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BrandenburgConcerto</a> 4, which played while <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BillyPilgrim" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BillyPilgrim</a> was marched through <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Dresden" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Dresden</a>.

Shantell Powell"You were just babies then!" she said. "What?" I said. "You were just babies in the war — like the ones upstairs!" I nodded that this was true. We had been foolish virgins in the war, right at the end of childhood. "But you're not going to write it that way, are you." This wasn't a question. It was an accusation. "I — I don't know," I said. "Well I know," she said. "You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be portrayed in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought by babies like the babies upstairs." So then I understood. It was war that made her so angry. She didn't want her babies or anybody else's babies killed in wars. And she thought wars were partly encouraged by books and movies. So I held up my right hand and I made her a promise: "Mary," I said, "I don't think this book of mine is ever going to be finished. I must have written five thousand pages by now, and thrown them all away. If I ever do finish it, though, I give you my word of honor: there won't be a part for Frank Sinatra or John Wayne. "I tell you what," I said, "I'll call it The Children's Crusade." She was my friend after that. <a href="https://c.im/tags/KurtVonnegut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KurtVonnegut</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SlaughterHouseFive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SlaughterHouseFive</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/War" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#War</a>

tinydoctor<a href="https://gnusocial.jp/simsa03" class="u-url mention">@simsa03</a> I first heard Glenn Gould play Bach on the soundtrack of the movie Slaughterhouse Five, about 1975. I saw the movie because I had read all of Vonnegut's books (in print at that time). Gould on the soundtrack may have been what led me to Bach's music in the first place. I'm not absolutely sure: 46 years ago. Gould playing Bach triggers the manic twitch in my body. I vibrate and my hands become sockpuppet piano players. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GlennGould" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GlennGould</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Vonnegut" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vonnegut</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SlaughterhouseFive" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SlaughterhouseFive</a>
