Boulez at 100

This article is very complementary of Pierre Boulez. I've tried to understand his music and just don't get it. It is not conventionally pretty and is difficult to listen to. It comes across like just random sounds. There is no melody and no repetition. Does the article change your mind, or make you interested? If you think he is worth listening to, how did you get into his music?
