In his Record Shelf Guide, Jim Svejda has fun recounting losing his lunch
whilst listening to Messiaen's Vingt Regards. Though he acknowledges
that a "inhumanly large and greasy cheesburger" may have played a role,
he ". . . firmly believed that it was Messiaen who made me puke, and I
still believe it today." He's not a fan.
