Do you, in line with your attempt to define"aesthetic experience", find this sensing your brother anew to be an aesthetic experience? My nudging on this comes from feeling that your description of an a.e. was too broad for me. It would have one calling every reappearance of George W. Bush an aesthetic experience. Did you see the recent pic of him going into a Wal Mart and saying, "I'm looking for a job"? Didn't feel in any way "aesthetic" to me. ************** You're invited to Hollywood's biggest party: Get Oscars updates, red carpet pics and more at Moviefone.
