There should be a clarification here, because it is one of the true works of genius from Billy, in the way that he put together, and maintained, that organization. One of the absolute keys to his success through the years was in making it extremely difficult for anyone to ever know which teams he was betting on. That required some of the most brilliant work I have ever seen anyone do, literally writing symphonies filled with nuances that the oddsmakers and betting markets could not penetrate; cascading movements in which it might have appeared as if the strings where taking the lead, while it was actually percussion that was to deliver the final note. There was some spectacular music, and I doubt that the creativity will ever be appreciated at the level that is deserved.
As explained in the column, there may be sincere issues with the composer, but there is the utmost respect and admiration for the music.
