"The New York Philharmonic and John Jay College of Criminal Justice co-present “Unjust Malaise: Julius Eastman and a Broken Mental Health System,” the third installment in “The Unanswered Questions” discussion series. The conversation, part of the Philharmonic’s “Authentic Selves: The Beauty Within” examination of issues of identity, focuses on the life of avant-garde composer Julius Eastman and the ways in which society ostracizes, or even criminalizes, behavior deemed to be deviant.

The panelists are Luciano Chessa, composer, music historian, and conductor; Leah Goodridge, Esq., Managing Attorney for Housing for Housing Policy at Mobilization for Justice; poet R. Nemo Hill & composer-performer Mary Jane Leach. Gayle Murchison, Associate Professor of Music at the College of William and Mary, moderates the discussion."—New York Philharmonic

In my young adult life, almost anything I envisioned manifested itself, often with little waiting time and at ideal places; but for more than a decade, I have felt like I am living through a well-known Mac Rebennac song.
I wonder if this is a result of having undergone brain salad surgery.
