By way of explanation for my previous ranting (and edited) post, first of all - alcohol, and secondly, quotes like this -
"It is not enough to deface the Mona Lisa because that does not kill the Mona Lisa. All art of the past must be destroyed." -- Pierre Boulez, 1971, quoted in the Sunday New York Times
This is garbage, not only because Leonardo da Vinci was a mind that dwarfs Boulez, because also because it is like what has actually been done by totalitarian regimes - for example the Taliban. I don't like the belligerant, arrogant mentality shown by Boulez, who has no respect for "the Past." It is perfectly possible the do new work, revolutionary work, without shitting all over people of the past. That is a sign of a small mind. And people who respect great art of the past are not stuck in it, as he implies. They learn from it.
And Mathis, please understand, I don't really care that much. Believe whatever you want to believe, worship whomever you want to worship. It's all mainly a source of amusement to me.
