Why You Should Still Build Your Raft of Art in the Sea of Slop: A little cri du coeur about working on your work and avoiding all the noise:
“The fact remains that great art is never going to appeal to everyone. Even if you want to point out unique times and places when specific art forms were more renumerated (sic) and respected, well, so what? There is no time machine. You cannot transport yourself to the 1960s Greenwich Village any more than the theatres of ancient Greece performing Aeschylus. You are only here, now, with the brain you have and the times you live in. All that other shit has nothing to do with what you are doing.”
