Dick was one of my best friends. A great artist and scholar.

Sure, I consider Al to be an artist and all his works to be art. Also I
don't like artists who make other artists bad.

I don't think so. There is generally quite a lot of respect among
artists, - inspite of differences and disagreements. However, when
people in desperate need for some kind of identity or feeling of
belonging show up to adhere, - it seldomly works.
