When an artist—even a particularly talented one—turns out to be a monster of a person, someone who victimizes others, assualts them, abuses them…it doesn’t matter any more what they’ve contributed artistically. It doesn’t matter, because all that art was bullshit, a cover for them to hide behind and to enable them to perpetrate their crimes by duping us, all of us, into giving them the power to perpetrate their crimes by appreciating their art. They lied to us.
Intense Film School tonight, but a great one. And damn did we have some FIRE discussions about the above, but lots of other stuff, too. Our first one back after another extended break due to COVID. It was so, sooooooo good to be back! Damn.
So ready to tackle the rest of the list.
Busy day today! Man, it was packed. Pups and organizational stuff in the morning, client work in the mid-morning, lunch and then making sure our taxes were ready to roll mid-day into early afternoon, and then suddenly it was time to podcast. Just like that!
Wrapped things up just now with a really nice little writing session, and damn, if I don’t suddenly have a streak going writing-wise. Feels good.
Great day. One for the books.
Night.
