Glass? Who’s he?

In response to my post about Ravel’s Bolero the other day, a couple of people commented — in comments and in e-mail — that since I don’t like Bolero on the basis of its repetitive nature, I probably would hate Philip Glass’s music. In all honesty, aside from a couple of film scores (The Truman Show, and I’m assuming that I’ve heard at least one more of his), I have heard almost no Glass whatsoever. Now, what I have heard seems droning and repetitive, so I’ll have to concede that I probably would hate his music. But I don’t know.
