This is the Ballon D'or of art.................obviously

 

[Thanx4Knives]

As far as im concerned it either one of two things:

A: Way over my head

or

B: A load of bollocks!

 

[bluealf]

The correct answer is B

I take it you philistines do not appreciate art.
Do you you not sense the anticipation and serendipity of these fine pieces?
I suppose you don't even appreciate the juxtaposition of your place on the
planet and Felix the Cat on the telly?

crock of shite,

If anyone without a artistic bone in there body could do as well, then it ain't worth calling art and it sure as hell ain't worth spending money on, especially licence payers money on id say!!!

Its the same in classical music. Anyone who is good writes music commercially to make a living, leaving the untalented idiots to push there horse shite at the public on shows like the Proms, all the twats gather around saying how marvelous it is while Jo Public is left thinking what a pile of toss, they keep stealing a living because not enough people will come out and say its toss from fear of looking like a heathen. Its simply the tale of The Emporers new Clothes.

Since when was classical music "the emperor's new clothes?" It was there a long time before rock n roll reared its ugly pelvis.
Can you honestly tell me that Elgar's “Pomp and Circumstance” March No.1 doesn't bring swelling to your trouser?

MMMM well personally it doesnt float my boat, but thats probably out of spending to many years having to play the fuckin thing.....lets just say music has "moved on" since the grand old days of 1920's England. Composers have got so progressive they have fallen off the end and dont know how to get back on again!!!!!!

See what you recon to this little ditty, only a few years after the death of Edward Elgar.

Its by the American composer John Cage who famously composed a piece called 4 minutes 33.

I give in Brass neck, I can't take any more. They were funny-as-fuck. I wish I'd written 4mins 33.
I was joking about Elgar by the way, I hate all that jingoistic bollocks.
