what i object to most when confronted with
academic artspeak is:

the slightly nasal/almost british accent
and the finger tips bouncing together.
(of course they were born on a farm just outside
of des moines, iowa.)

yes, yeeees, i seee, oh, my, i seeee.
so nice that you think that wayyyy.
yes, yessss.
and, of course, the more art speakers there are,
the more nasal, and more fake british accent we
hear.

Phoo. You guys hush, now, and go into your studios and
make stuff. Vince, you too, and many another.
Enough already. Yeah, yeah - I can find the delete key.

But a new year is starting - that's important. Do something
with it. It will be gone in a flash. Remember the last one?
Gone, eh? ".....nor all your piety and wit shall lure it back to
cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out one word or it......."

Carpe diem.

Dear Dannon -
That's the point. We ARE doing something with it right here right now.
