Go ahead, talk more see if you want to, because we got 200 minutes
Y'know
Avant garde artists have really hard time making it these days
Y'know, they gotta have a day jobs and everything, like
Well if you're not appealing to the masses
If you can't sell your shit to the masses
Then yeah you gotta have a day job
If you wanna do some kind of weird esoteric art
That's not very commercial
Fuck you, keep your day job
And if you wanna pursue some art that you know
Is just too weird and esoteric for most people
Just accept that fact
That you're not gonna be able to make a living at that
You can't expect the world to come to your door
Because you think what you're doing is so interesting
You know what I'm saying?
Well you gotta eat, man!
These bureaucrats that dole the money out
The way they judge things is so lame and half assed
99 percent of the time the money goes to the wrong people
It goes to the people that are good at hustling grant money
Yeah I know what you're saying but what I'm saying is
Guys that do something that was considered weird and esoteric
For a while
Then, maybe the guy dies a tragic death and people would catch up
It's too negative, y'know, it's not pretty
Yeah but y'know you got generations of artists
Not just individual ones but generations of artists
That are ignored
It's just not gonna appeal to many people
It's shrill, it's unpleasant for most people's ears
It's too weird
I mean, I don't appreciate it
Well you don't even like bebop!
