Two students last week discussed Trump as outsider artist. One said certain artists disrupt everything like Igor Stravinsky, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, Nina Hagen and Kandinsky, Goddard, Fellini also come to mind thinking of other artists with that signature of fucking shit up. They aren’t necessarily capable of being any other way. He said historically people try to get the disrupters to be nice, please just some of the time, just show you can also play inside instead of always outside. But it might be disrupters can’t help it. Many people hate them, write articles or books dismissing them even sometimes insinuating they are worthless….sometimes after months or years or decades they are seen in a different light. Van Gogh never sold a painting. A riot breaks out when the Rite of Spring was debuted, Branford Marsalis calling Cecil’s music “Total self-Indulgent bullshit”. The other student said there is something similar between those dynamics and his friends on fire about anything and everything Trump. I liked trying to follow their dialogue.
