ok ok, sorry, my bad. big bad indeed - what was I thinking? sometimes english fails me, or I fail at it. whatever the reason...
I had a big thought in my head that I wanted to simply compare some persons mentioned as artists who gained fame for simply doing what they did best - be it writing, playing an instrument, dancing, whatever.
and it puzzles me to read stuff such as, "He wasn't great because he was comparable to Dostoevsky or Beethoven (as at one point Cornell suggests)" ...I wonder, why not?
is there some sort of moral authority we must abide to, before we draw comparisons of this kind? just curious about it.
Oh and before flames ensue, I'd like to express my total respect to demonrail as I totally appreciate his contributes to the board.
