Random Thought

Random Thought: What if someone you respect tells you that such and such an artist is a living genius? But you don’t like that artist’s work, even if you can appreciate the point.

Is it a bad reflection on your own taste?

Is “genius” in the field of The Arts a subjective opinion or an objective fact?

Well my own take, as I ask myself the question, is that there are far more important things to be worrying about.

I mean, really, there are.

nb. And here’s a guilty secret (one of many!): I’ve got a wee pipe dream to write a song for The Netherlands entry to the Eurovision Song Contest. And win the bugger. I know! What’s all that about? That would be genius, wouldn’t it?
