Ray:
Being a musician is a full time job whether paid or not and angry artists are often quite destructive. Since they control the mirrors they often contain a destruction that is truly genocidal all in the name of their own view of the world "winning" a kind of artistic 'losing."I find this a little bothersome because it makes me wonder who might qualify as "destructive" or "genocidal" artist. Somewhere, in the dark recesses of their minds both Stalin and Hitler fancied themselves to be artists. Stalin wrote poetry and Hitler wanted to be an architect or painter. Both were failures, though perhaps not in their own minds. Were the prisoners of the gulag and the death camps victims of failed self-styled artists? Or perhaps you mean Hitler and Stalin were influenced by artists -- Hitler by Wagner, for instance.
When I think of destructive true artists, Van Gogh comes to mind. But then he destroyed himself, not others.
