Can't read Lovecraft 'cause he was militant atheist. Can't groove on a Modigliani canvas 'cause he took drugs and was mean to his models. Can't read any Anne Perry 'cause she was a child criminal.<br /><br />You can end up not paying attention to any art that isn't created by someone with your views.<br />And where does that get you?<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-77003714870831589082010-06-21T15:37:14.037-05:002010-06-21T15:37:14.037-05:00you must not watch a lot of movies then..
