Throughout this period, Glass supported himself as a New York cabbie and as a plumber, occupations that often led to unusual encounters. "I had gone to install a dishwasher in a loft in SoHo," he says. "While working, I suddenly heard a noise and looked up to find Robert Hughes, the art critic of Time magazine, staring at me in disbelief. 'But you're Philip Glass! What are you doing here?' It was obvious that I was installing his dishwasher and I told him I would soon be finished. 'But you are an artist,' he protested. I explained that I was an artist but that I was sometimes a plumber as well and that he should go away and let me finish."

His life trajectory was insane

He's a jew who went to UChicago at 15 and studied math and philosophy and subsequently went to Julliard through 1962, then he got a Fulbright and studied in Paris for a few years, then he goes to India for a while and met the Dalai Lama

Then he goes to NYC and he's a cabbie and plumber and has a moving company
