You've made some interesting points and good comparisons between music and art. And Luka is a great bloke, an excellent musician/artist with an interesting perspective.<br /><br />Cheers, GlenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36788106.post-38948079037222420822009-04-29T16:57:00.000+10:002009-04-29T16:57:00.000+10:00Artist/creative inspiration aside, I agree wholehe...Artist/creative inspiration aside, I agree wholeheartedly that music should be purchased (in it's intended form, in a cover, with the sleeve - is that what it's still called? - and paid for). I don't like downloading, I never feel that it's really mine. I feel like a fake fan. I think JB Hi Fi has really good prices, and I certainly don't mind spending $20 - $30 on music/CD. Even if it turns out that I only like 10% of the CD. <br /><br />Art; visual, paintings, pictures. Well that's another story. To be in a position to purchase, own, admire, encourage the artist with funding, is a dream I realise now I may never realise. So often I have fallen in love with an image on a gallery wall, but love doesn't pay the bills, and it certainly doesn't pay for art! <br /><br />I recall, as a teenager, learning that state/public galleries often don't exhibit all the works that they own. I was SHOCKED and DISGUSTED. "What part of that idea is normal?!!!", I thought. That was when I first decided that if I could do anything I'd be an ART THIEF...dressed in black (like catwoman --- even though the image of me as a teenager in slinky black was quite alarming due to the impending famine --- not that there was a famine approaching, but my body was ready for it if it ever did come! Need I say more?). I wouldn't steal art works for financial gain, but for love. I'd hang my ill-gotten gains on my wall and tell everyone who saw it all about the artist, the work, the sad story of the dusty crevice it had been subjected to. I'd love it. And being loved and looked after and noticed is what we all want...I believe art contains life, like a phoenix, a canvas phoenix. To stash a painting away, never to be seen is like silencing a story that needs to be told.<br /><br />Well, I've never fulfilled my ambitions of stealthly gaining access to the Albert Tuckers and other untold stories hiding behind each other in neat, catalogued rows, gathering dust. But, maybe oneday after shopping for my theme song (Jail Break ACDC maybe) at JB I'll figure out a way to free those beautiful stories. And I will.Sexy Loserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107632301639612099noreply@blogger.com
