We should have never heard of Duran Duran.
This is why I think it is Duran Duran's fault.
Because there is this cabal you speak of.
But let's say there wasn't.
Like, what's popular in underground music?
Eventually there will be a cabal established by the mob, who, like you said, is stupid.
The mob will go, this guy's cool because he's wearing these weird pants.
This guy's cool because his hair is different.
If an artist sucks, like,
How many people who paint actually can paint?
Here's my challenge.
Let's not build a museum for horrible artists.
That's what the radio program directors did.
They built a museum for hacks.
They took Duran Duran and they gave them a Guggenheim museum so we could... And then they forced us all through the front door to witness their shit that they put up on display.
That's what I'm saying.
As far as the guy wants to sit in his basement and draw pictures of his cat dressed up in clown outfits, that's his...
Yeah.
Retarded notion of art.
Fine.
