I love this.

Was really hoping to see his inside-out rainbow Pollock jacket, though.

I think this is a prime example of why pop music is a lot harder than you might think. It's very simplicity is what makes it so hard to pull off. It's not just marketing and promotion either (though that helps, of course). I could paint a picture that, to me, was indistinguishable from a Pollock or a Rothko, but it wouldn't be great art, and nobody would pay me thousands of dollars for it.

A lot of my professional musician friends who have spent years perfecting their art get real grumpy about the success of pop musicians. They tend to say things like 'I could do that, no problem' and yet they don't, and they certainly would if they really could.

Also, to clarify, I'm not necessarily talking about pop *stars* whose talent tends to be more along the lines of looking cool while singing passably, but the producers and song writers who make the actual music.

@ gwiz and arekin-While I tend to distrust "experts" or any kind, especially the self-described or those deemed worthy by others relying upon them for their "superior knowledge", you can't dismiss a culture's preference for simple details with regard to their culinary heritage. The Japanese imltho, are allowed passes on their anal attention to details regarding their cultural heritage after all, they took two for the team-

My own sushi would not be deemed worthy by most Japanese, but most Americans I serve it to act like they've just seen majolica performed when I prepare it and they partake.

The "right" way offers the experience as closely as it was intended by the culture, and the "wrong" way offers the Hindi version of "Star Wars" as a culinary experience., and I've had some shit sushi in my day, mostly prepared by white people. Oh, and a proper Japanese would never put that fake-ass artificial crab-pollock shit in their handrolls, either!

I like both ways, because I'm a fucking goat and would eat cardboard or tin if prepared suitably. I try to however, prepare and consume sushi according to tradition, and find it the most satisfying for the sushi experience. I am constantly trying to improve upon my rice according to the Japanese standards and practices-If you ace the rice, the rest is a cake-walk.

Oh yeah, and if you drink anything but black coffee, yer effeminate.

How many Pollocks does it take to get to the tootsie-roll center of a tootsie pop?

Thank you.

I loved the gingerbread : You were with some distinguished company there! I think that Pollock, Mondrian, and dotdude were the three most successful projects, with an honourable mention to Rousseau.

I guess I meant to have an early start but leave space. For me an early start is more than likely going to consist of coffee to wake up and get amped. I find the most daunting and uncreative times in life are when I wake up twenty minutes before work and get into that terrible habit.

I agree with most of these but...drink coffee?? If I drink coffee the only creativity resulting from it is the Jackson Pollock-like splatter of my vomit. Ill assume they mean drink stimulating beverage of your choice.

I thought that this might be something you would see if Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol got together for a Visual Art project.

Joy Bahar got it WRONG.

It's not Kevin Spacey, but Kevin Pollock who does the spot-on impression of Walken.

Come on finish your joke. How many fish does it take to do what?>> ^shuac:

On a lighter note, how many pollocks does it take...

Just one to realize "pollock" is not the appropiate thing to call a Polish person.

How many Pollocks does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None! The old bulb still works, it's just splattered with paint.
