Bob and I met in 1973, backstage at his show The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin, in New York. We began working together, Bob drawing, and me composing. What started as a natural collaboration turned into our work Einstein On The Beach. From there, we were lifelong friends and collaborators. Bob leaves us with his brilliant view of everything he touched. With admiration, respect and love, I will miss my dear friend. -Philip Glass, July 31, 2025
