(through their fuck ups) seems to do the artist a great
disservice. What about imagination or the desire to stretch
boundries? Can't these also play a role?"
Okay, I come up with a nice global theory with a catchy name
and you expect it to apply to everything just because I said
it did. Be that way.
I could try to cover myself by saying that's just the flip
side of what I said, that the artist slowly adds his own
personality, but you caught me. Of course, the additions (or
wholesale creation) are often very conscious.
