I'm with mark. You don't have to get it all. Yeah, Lindford had something
in mind when he wrote, and was in a certain place in his life and reading
certain things, but art grows when it interacts with different people. I
get different things out of a Picasso than I did 5 years ago. I get stuff
out of DuBuffet now (he rocks) that I didn't come close to grasping in
college. I'd hate to be limited to just Lindford's thoughts. OtR's songs
hit me differently at different times. The lyrics were what first drew me
. . . heh, I use to attempt to write poetry spinning off of the imagery in
_Patience_.
Always enjoy the music.
Did you catch the discussion of Moth a few weeks ago? That's what the
music is all about, what makes it even more rich, spinning off a variety of
thoughts and images in different people's heads.
When I make art, I hope that people see things in it that I never dreamed
off . . . and I hope I get to hear some of those thoughts.
I wouldn't mind knowing what Lindford and Karin have been reading, but then
I'm always open to people's recommendations of good books. Not that I need
to pick up any more at this point.
peace and joy,
luce
