that what they get from an unmade bed is somehow not
as valuable as Tigermilk. Its a subjective judgement
what you are essentially saying is that what moves you
is art but what moves others even if you dont
understand it, whatever that means,is not art.As
individuals our judgements as to what is valuable are
always subject to our subjective feelings.I find Tracy
Emins work very moving my feelings are as important as
yours i am just as intelligent and sensitive or
whatever as you are.Just because you dont consider
things valuable dont presume to tell others what they
can and cant find valuable in art. Why is an unmade
bed less valuable than belle and sebastian? And
talking of weird and meaningless things to get
attention have you actually read some of belle and
sebastian's lyrics."moved to kick the crutches from my
crippled friend" Its shocking its
fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks for actually writing
something on the list with some content.
Love Kevin.
