My Breakfast With Gjuddy: Artists
“There is nothing more depressing than trying to appear happy when you are not.“ - Nick Cave
(12:39:20 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: Bizarre…. I just discovered a Nick Cave cover of “Eighteen” from wayyy back… bizarre.
(12:39:34 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: So bizarre I had to say it twice.
(12:40:13 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: wow…bizarre AND hurtin.
(12:40:43 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: LOO
(12:40:59 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: Although it is a hurtin’ cover - most likely because of the hurtin’ source.
(12:43:10 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: hey!
(12:43:23 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: How dare you insult Nick Cave!
(12:43:54 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: well…he’s hurtin’
(12:43:58 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: what choice do I have
(12:46:57 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Nick Cave is considered an ARTIST - whereas poor Alice… well…
(12:47:42 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: ah huh
(12:47:46 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: an ARTIST
(12:48:25 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: Hey, I can’t help the public and media pundit’s perception of a great contributor to the pantheon of serious music…
(12:49:11 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: As opposed to a shock-rock guy who is only mentioned every Halloween…
(12:49:20 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: I believe the Blue Man Group are considered ARTISTS as well
(12:49:30 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: Ah no…. they aren’t actually.
(12:49:47 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: And they’re in a completely different genre of entertainment.
(12:50:00 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: so
(12:50:41 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: It makes a difference. It’s like saying this guy who’s a janitor is an “artist” at what he does and therefore he’s in the same category as The Blue Man Group. It makes no sense whatsoever.
(12:52:53 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: they’re both in the same category as Nick Cave
(12:52:58 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: especially the janitor
(12:53:08 PM) BuCkSaTaN™: Hoo brother… now you’re just being silly.
(12:55:35 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: now Gerry Rafferty…there’s an artist
