Why this is marked as abuse? It has been marked as abuse.

Report not abuse

No spike for Glenn Gould's 80th birthday? GOulD is dead.

Perhaps splicing a few vocals by Cantor Helfgot into Gould's Goldbergs
would boost sales.

*cackle* (Yes, I'm back. I've been busy with my move, and in addition to
that, Earthlink's nntp servers stopped working for me. Supposedly all that
was needed was adding a port number to the server, but that didn't work with
Xnews. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I now get my internet
access at home through Time-Warner, and use Earthlink only for email. So I'm
now getting my Usenet access through Giganews, at least for the time being.)

Why do we need some Italian knock-offs, anyway? The real Devo are still
with us and recording.

It may be even worse with painting.

How many people say that "their 5yo kid can paint like Picasso" when at
14yo Picasso painted like Velásquez ?

Why don't school teachers and public TVs explain that cubism shows
objects (or models) as they are and not as they seem ?
It's really like a planisphere: how to represent a spherical earth on a
flat map ? Picasso applied the same principles to the objects and people
we see around us every day.
While we see a person's profile with one eye, one ear, one nostril, this
person (the model) feels themselves as having a body with two eyes, ears
and nostrils - and Picasso shows us both representations in one picture
- and that's brilliant ! The object is another subject, an alter ego or,
as Husserl named it in more technical terms, an objective transcendance
(with an "a", see wiki: Kant).

But the mass media, that now include the public "education" system of
the Western countries, is meant to create illiterate consuming zombies,
certainly not free citizens and persons capable of thinking and
appreciating greatness by themselves.
