doesn't really matter, because he's past dust by this time, and there is  
no lineage trying to control his performances.
but I do care, because the way someone plays tells how well they studied  
the piece/epoch/whatever..., and if they are well prepared enough not just  
to press the keys, but also to build something from the material. if I  
start to listen to someone who clearly doesn't has enough to say, then I  
leave, or try to do something else, so that I don't waste my time.

don't know about the crazy part. But I would prefer to see him doing pd  
than keep writing for concert halls.
