“Every age invents art that fulfills its desires. Our age—an age marked by deep insecurities—is now inventing an art that requires advanced certification. But no matter how many advanced degrees an artist piles on, it’s hard to see how any of them will help any artist with the unsolvable problem that haunts any kind of art—namely, how to make art that’s any good.“

“When I read a poet who is truly new, I find myself seeing not only the words on the page but, behind the page as it were, a new group of people. This is the poet’s imagined audience, to some extent; every poet has one; the new poet is one who in the process of imagining this audience also brings it into being.“

Another stomper from Neil Young & Crazy Horse from their upcoming the “Americana” album. I love these videos assembled weird old stock footage & archival films. 

“Clementine- A Sharp Education” (by ShakeyPix1)

Love this video and song.  He should’ve hired W&S.

A military challenge coin. “A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion (usually military), bearing an organization’s insignia or emblem and carried by the organization’s members. Traditionally, they are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. In addition, they are also collected by service members. In practice, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They are also exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization.”

John Baldessari believes that every young artist should know 3 things:

  1. Talent is cheap
  2. You have to be possessed, which you can’t will
  3. Being at the right place at the right time

Tom Waits narrates a quirky 6-minute documentary about contemporary art legend John Baldessari.
