At a party, young award winning musician is holding court and explaining why Bob Dylan is the worst artist in the world, “He can’t sing, he’s musically horrible” yada yada. Was a wee bit weird that they didn’t see any value in the lengthy works and history of Dylan. I thought about some famous music people I can’t stand but I’m less comfortable to brag about it, at this party anyway. I know people can lose their minds over meaningless things like artistic opinions, they can even murder over it. I bet people who are blind, probably have some understanding of that because though they never have seen they have tried to understand what seeing is. And when sighted people explain racism to them, and it comes down to a willingness to hate based upon the tonality of skin, that must leave them feeling like the sighted are way more blind. Someday, somebody should try to write lyrics like that.

That’s what you get when you endorse the view that art is subjective.
