Funny... I was listening to this today and wondering the same thing. Here's what I get out of it. Its about how people don't place value on the right things. They aren't interested in real art, but are happy with mass, crowd pleasing, saccharine stuff. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cheap Picasso fakes are things that look like art -- but are really just cheap imitations that satisfy most people, who lap them up. Andy Warhol rather famously decided that people would find Campbell Suit Cans art, if it was packaged as same. Ditto silk screens of Marilyn Monroe's face. He was commenting on the gullibility of what people thought was of value. Chocolate Cake goes down easy -- but its mostly empty calories. Have some more suckers! |
