to be a rock and not to roll

O, happy day. Mark Crispin Miller has a weblog. You should read it not only because Mark Crispin Miller has pulled off the three name thing beatifully, but because he's articulate, interesting, and tapped in to so many important things.


Also, listened to the beginning of disc 2 of "Shut Up You Fucking Baby" yesterday, and ... wow.


As for the pursuit of art, I'm still trying to straighten this out. And instead of getting clearer, it's getting murkier. Is there a difference between authentic and inauthentic art? Is inauthentic art art that is weilded to manipulate? Is there even a such thing as art that doesn't aim to manipulate? This is the first time my thought has really been stymied in such a major way; sure, I've had questions I couldn't answer, but now I can't even figure out which questions are the important ones.
