John Williams

John Williams is John Williams, and he will always sound like John Williams. A few months ago, I turned on my favorite radio station, KVNO, and heard a piece I thought I recognized as the Jurassic Park theme. At the end, though, the announcer identified it as being from Indiana Jones. This morning, on the way into work, I thought, "Oh, they're playing the Indiana Jones theme again." The announcer then identified it as Jurassic Park. I like John Williams' music, but it does all sound kind of similar.

And, the "Juraissic Park" music is based on a hymn! Plus, if you listen to his "Dracula" and "Cloud City" from "Empire Strikes Back" - they're the same! The same! Wow, I'm a loser . . .
