Music & Movies

Me neither, I like classical.

I dunno what my kind of music is classified as, but I know I like funny music.

STRMkirby in refrence to your ealier comments you remind me of my daughter when she was a teenager. She actually with complete sincerity asked me what it was like in the civil war.

Ah, but what IS art?

Or, what is "product" but art that people are willing to support?

I'm defining product as art by committee where the goal is not art but profit. (which is different to art by collaboration where something artistic always survives in the end result, even if the artistic vision which creates it is blurred because of the many voices that went into it.)

Do you think less art is created because of this phenomenon or only that it's hard to mass-market it?

I don't think less art is created. Art is always being created, even if it's just a person at home writing poetry or sculpting for their own benefit. I wouldn't say less art is created. The best answer I think I have for your question is that I think less of what is mass-marketed is art.

Simply said, your daughter is(or was) an idiot.

ladydyke,
what WAS it like to be alive in the civil war?
These days, rather than be offended, if someone asked me, I'd tell 'em. Of course, I'd be making it up.
Why tell a boring truth when, with a little effort, you can tell a fascinating lie?

Why tell a huge big whopping fascination lie that convinces everyone you are telling the absolute truth when, with a little effort, you can completely mislead the person and reverse their morals and reason for existence?

Why bother at all?
