Ever try to listen to John Coltrane's Ascension?

Nope. Should I?

It is lauded as a brilliant piece of music. I hear it as a long painful noise. One man's trash is another man's treasure when it comes to art.

Most of your top modern artists have stopped using their own urine in favor of professional pee. You can get a higher refractive index from the urine of an experienced provider.

We learn so much from our readers.

I am by no means an expert but I think what a lot of modern artists are doing is exploring the concept of what constitutes art rather than trying to create an aesthetically pleasing image or sound. That's all well and good in it's place but it doesn't always make for an enjoyable experience. That's why I could go to the MIA just about every week but am fine going to the Walker (Minneapolis's modern art museum) once every couple years. Are there some charlatans passing off crap as art? Undoubtedly, but there really is a lot of modern art that is truly creative. Often times someone will look at a modern work and say, "Oh I could do that." I always think, "Sure, you could reproduce it. But could you have conceived of it in the first place?"

Monkey tail?! I'd google it, but I'm at work and I'm a little afraid.
