You mean to tell me Godzilla was a vegetarian?
Which reminds me, were there two Morton Goulds? Gould was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1995 for his virtuosic “StringMusic.” I can only assume the awards committee was ignorant of the fact that, in 1993, he had composed a “hip-hop opera” titled “The Jogger and the Dinosaur.” Of course, Gould had never shied from incorporating popular music into his works, but it seems a bit of a stretch from rhumba to rap. Come to think of it, in 1956, he did compose the “Jekyll and Hyde Variations.” Sadly(?), there don’t appear to be any sound clips of “The Jogger and the Dinosaur” online.
Instead, here’s “My Friend, the Brachiosaurus,” from John Williams’ score for “Jurassic Park.”
