The trouble with that is that the craft that goes into something is not necessarily evident to the outsider. If he doesn't dance or have friends who dance, it's likely that he doesn't understand the level of physical and mental commitment that requires.</p> <p>Incidentally, Oscar Wilde also thought that music was the highest form of art (not the form he was actually skilled at) because it was pure form (I guess he's assuming no lyrics) without moral agenda.</p> <p>- meta</p> comment000815@http://movabletypo.net/cshell/ Wed, 08 Sep 2004 10:51:23 -0800
