| Hey, Laura | ||||||||||
| Asking a wannabe Bohemian "artsy type" like myself to to define art and music is like asking a megalomaniac to describe himself lol | ||||||||||
| Actually, I have had experiences where women have not understood me because I dwell on art so much but, then, a lot of guys kindof lose touch because they "dwell" on other things don't they? Anyway, so, this is kindo of like therapy for me:) | ||||||||||
| I think I already defined art, though, that's the real ironic part i guess *laugh. And music is the sound of everything making sense I suppose which in my weird little world is often I suppose except we poetic types call it having a "vision". Bottom line I guess is that there's very little difference between art and life so its easy to use art as a substitute for life because we are human and if you're going to pick something to be humanely obsessed about art works pretty well but it smacks into life all the time and life smacks into it. Art is escapism. We all like to escape and some people do it or try to do it for a living and those people like to call themselves artists but they are really everybody but if everybody thought that way no one would make any money I suppose just like religions wouldn't exist if everybody agreed that every person is equally divine. Finally, art is a tough thing to do for a living (and not a lot of people seem to talk about this) because it draws upon so many of the same passions most people reserve for interpersonal intimacy, but even that isn't unique to art I suppose because every body has to juggle romance and career at some point it's the line seems less clearly defined for me although it has become clearer over time. Is that enough, Laura? | ||||||||||
