Bill,
I think he is just like a lot of people who turn me off talking about
art, etc. It reminds me of a story reputed to be true of a hanger-on
who admired the artists in Paris early the last century. He was so
excited when an acquaintance invited him to lunch at a bistro with some
famous painters of the Picasso, Matisse crowd. To be at the same table
with his idols and listen to the pearls of wisdom that they would
dispense, ahhh! But after lunch his friend asked him why he was in such
a funk, and he complained that all these great men talked about were
their sexual escapades, their mistresses, who was schtupping whom, who
couldn't perform in bed, etc. His friend was surprised and replied "Of
course you imbecile! artists incessantly talk about sex; only whores and
bores talk about art all the time." I don't know this guy, but I know
this guy too well as somebody who gushes about something they don't
really know and won't even bother to be informed about. In that sense,
it is a joke. Wait, do you mean that someone posted a bogus article to
have us all on; in that case I guess I'm the idiot.
