That's enhancement I once mentioned I liked some classical composers -- Rimsky-Korsakov, Richard Strauss, Dvořák, Wagner, and a couple of others. I was informed I had plebian tastes. That was before 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' became rather well known. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfwAPg4rQQE In truth my tastes weren't as rarefied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_81PchgI7A That was another instance of synchronicity. I was reading Hesse and when I saw Steppenwolf in a rack in a college bookstore I bought it knowing nothing about the band. Speaking of which I wonder if the film is still available. It was rather strange for its day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steppenwolf_(film) Of course Hesse, Jung, Kay, and synchronicity are all tangled up in a web.
