Of Shoes & Ships & Sealing Wax…

Bits of randomness as my mind has already left for vacation.

Diana Graves (aka Phoenix) & I have been taking in local comic & horror conventions & loving it. Further evidence of me nerding out can be seen in my MySpace “Shitting Twinkies” photo album. ;)

Feel free to friend me if you wanna see, I’m not incredibly elitist. However, if you are racist or homophobic, don’t bother - low tolerance for intolerance here. Life’s too short, go find something productive to do.

Is Everything Derivative?

On Howard Stern today, they had a guy on with concrete examples of songs that Led Zeppelin STOLE from other artists, not even crediting them (until taken to court). Makes me sincerely wish they had a deal with the devil instead. :|

It’s similar to realizing that Lichtenstein merely traced 50’s comics frames to create his paintings, which I’d previously loved.

On one hand, the original art had probably reached its maximum potential with the original artists. These other guys come along, polish it up & re-frame it in their context, make it more palatable - is that art?

In a secondhand way, perhaps, but to lie about it & call it your own, that makes you an asshole. :)

Was Dali an Asshole?

Whoever wrote this article hated his ass. However, they mention some things I’d not heard about him:

  • He “suggested that the deepest way to demonstrate one’s love for another is to eat their excrement”
  • Congratulated the dictator (Francisco Franco) on political tortures and assassinations
  • Enjoyed hearing of transport disasters

It goes on to describe numerous other ways he was a pompous ass. Unsure of the validity behind the claims of the writer, but I love Salvador Dali’s work, especially his surreal, sultry portrait of Mae West.
