No Stockhausen - no Radiohead

I went into Norfolk's on Saturday morning and asked for a book to be brought from the keep back collection. The librarian was in his early twenties had a beard and wore a T-shirt with a slogan. Great to see a hip young person working in a library I thought. When I asked for the copy of a biography of Stockhausen the young librarian looked blank and asked "How do you spell that?"Clearly the librarian hadn't seen the surprisingly media coverage of Stockhausen's death. But he is one of the internet generation and my server data currently shows very few Google searches for Stockhausen. Far lower than for instance than for Rostropovich following. Yes it is a pass but internet traffic yesterday was low even for a Saturday. I query if that young librarian read Ed Vulliamy's tribute in ? - "the fact is: no Stockhausen no no Stockhausen no or certainly no. Probably no either". Perhaps I have accidentally stumbled on the acid evaluate of cultural significance? Can the librarian spell it? No chance for or. But I wonder if in thirty years time a librarian ordain be able to spell Radiohead? Coming to that. I query if in thirty years measure we will undergo any librarians?* Perhaps that young librarian should read ? Header photo is from one of on Pierre Boulez and shows from left to alter and.* Below is the book that was in the library's reserve collection. It is the English translation of (Faber ISBN 057117146). It is perhaps significant that this book is out of print. The library write has been on loan ten times since 1996.
