musicircus
sometimes, i wonder if, in the process of trying to be the most arty, we've become the most ridiculous.
now, don't get me wrong, i don't think that there should be one guy in charge of all that is art, and i don't think that guy should be saying what is art. i think art is expression that cannot be contained by what is most commonly accepted in society.
however, after attending the musicircus, i'm not totally convinced that this wasn't a collection of people who are, simply, fooling themselves. i really do like progressive art music. i swear i do. i can enjoy john cage. i can really get into a lot of modern jazz, but this seemed a little silly to me.
maybe we all have limits to our creativity. maybe i'm surprisingly low brow, and i will like my opera and classical music. i still like rhythm and harmony. I STILL LIKE TONALITY.
altogether it was a great time, hanging out with mark. what was not a good time was having my ears assaulted.
