 "Tranquility live was so unbelievably great-it truly takes
awhile to make an educated opinion..their should be a disclaimer on AENT

that says, ("CAUTION this product may grow on you") one artist that
comes to mind is Mark Rothko-you cannot experience his art on a printed
page OR on a computer screen -NO it is a PERSONAL experience and has to
be witnessed."

And then you still might hate his work. That's why they're called
opinions. I find his work boring as hell. I might even say to someone
"that's boring" -I'm not rying to say that everyone has to agree, but
it's my assertion. I know plenty of people don't agree. Give me Paul
Klee, Frantisek Kupka or Klimt or any of 100 others. You've got to allow
people to feel passionate about this stuff without being hurt yourself.
They tried to teach me to appreciate an all-black painting last
semester. No way. The question was "How much more black could it be? And
the answer is none..none-more black."
