I'm inclined to agree. Brakhage's opinion can be duly noted, then dismissed. 
He's not likely to punch anyone out now, is he? For art purists, I suggest 
they use earplugs during the performance. Sadly, that will only make the blood 
thump in their ears, creating an unwelcomed - gasp! - rhythm... and baspheming 
their god Brakhage with unsolicited sound once again. What to do? Perhaps 
ripping their hearts out of their bodies so that the last sight into their dying 
eyes is their beloved Brakhage's images.
