🗨 we all feel that lack of awe and wonderment when we see fake art today and we find it expressed in full spectacular power when we make pilgrimages to see real works of Art from the Renaissance.[...] What made them real artists?
Quite a beautiful metaphor you've created here. Elvis Costello and Roy Orbison are admirable figures to imitate. Both were artists that I wasn't fond of when I was younger and first getting into music in a real way, and while I have deep respect for both, Orbison in particular always fascinated me. I've read before (though how accurate this is, I'm not sure) that he never quite saw himself as worthy of the admiration of his peers, even though he was, as I would say to friends unfamiliar with his work, "One of your favorite artist's favorite artists." I believe David Lynch, of all people, helped produce his last album of re-recorded, remastered material in the late 80's, because he was such a big fan (I know for certain that "In Dreams" was, if only because that's my favorite song by Orbison, and Lynch is one of my favorite directors).
David Lynch is an entire amazing musical rabbit hole in his own right. His collaborations with Chrysta Bell are amazing; I was so moved by Bird of Flames that I translated the lyrics into Attic Greek.
I loved Roy's version of "Blue Bayou" and as far as Kiss, it was always "Beth". Thank-you for your writing on this subject. I really enjoyed your article!!! I am so sorry not to pay today, but I am broke.
You picked some good ones. Don’t worry about not paying. Like I said, take care of yourself first. Choose to support me when it’s down to that or new fuzzy dice for your Bentley.
I like your articulation of the purpose of your writing and inspiration. Having it paywall free will certainly make it easier to share and generate future patrons. Also, I had not heard the original of “Drive all Night.” Instead, I heard it as a cover by the Protomen that can be found here: https://youtu.be/ZOJNJXBfOTo I think you’d like to hear their take on it!
Substack should really add an applause button alongside the heart, so I can show my approval twice
Thank you kindly. A like and share is like the Zen paradox of one hand clapping, if that helps.
I think every artist doesn't think money is important until they
1. Miss three meals.
2. Have a bad tooth that really needs work.
3. Kids that need to be taken care of.
I was a ligit hobo till I went through all three.
But I hung on to the end.

Megha Lillywhite takes a legit stab at the answer 😊 --> classicalideals.substack.com/p/distinguishing-the-human-artist-from

That is a great rendition. I remember the Hold Back the Night Memes from 2016.
Excellent 👌
