Jerry Saltz @JerrySaltz Asks "have you ever visited a grave of someone you admired or were curious about?" Who? And where? My comment / I Have gone 3 times to visit the grave of Igor Stravinsky, in Cemetery Island Venice, to thank him for freeing me from the slavery of originality when he said in a 2 part PBS documentary on George Balanchine, when he comes out of a room slightly inebriated and say to the director "you know why my music sounds like Mozart? Because I steal from Mozart and that's ok because I love Mozart!"
