I think RAGTIME was the equivalent of Billy Joel’s WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE. Evoke an event or events and call it literature or music with a historic message. It’s all a meaningless mélange when done like this, like a phantasmorgic dream.

Loved ‘Ragtime.’

R.I.P.

[P.O.E.]

I remember reading Ragtime as a young teen. I enjoyed it back then.

IIRC, it was about the same time as Hamlisch’s “The Sting” recordings of Joplin’s rags.

RIP.
