Among the memorable quotes from Steinmetz
was this one from sophomore Shawn Kirk, who presented
on “The Incorporation of Classical Music into Progressive
Rock and Heavy Metal:”

“No one looks at an overweight Elvis in a white
jump suit and says, `What a genius that guy was!'”

And later, after playing a selection of heavy
“death metal” music, he turned to the somewhat stunned
audience and said, “That's not Moonlight Sonata. It all sounds like
one big grunt.”
