not only, but also, I suppose. today, pop is a bit more than that. if you
tune your radio randomly and your a song you've never heard, you can say if
it's pop music, even if you don't know by who and why it was made. it's a
bit more about forms rather than intentions. but I repeat : not only money
and blooming media, but also that.

and unmade bed it's NOT art and can NEVER be art, even if there's a whole
art gallery or museum, full of so-called artists or art critics waving
their hands in ecstasy, praising the slob for its genious.
roten culture, where art depends on whom you sleep with.

no.
