And some artists are played









After a long period off in foreign lands, not blogging, I thought, apropos of nothing, of this: Some artists play themselves, and some artists play themselves. That is some artists play themselves like it's a part in a play, and some artists play themselves like they're an instrument.

I was pretty happy with this bit of inspiration for a few seconds.

Then I wasn't sure at all what it meant.

Then I wanted to share it with you.

  1. Well, now that I'm entering my curmudgeon years, i can now gripe that thespians are easily the most annoying artists. They are always and forever playing themselves AND with the added bonus that anyone in their periphery is blissfully included in the dramatic continuum.

    1. First of all, welcome to your curmudgeon years! This can be a ripe and fruitful time in anyone's life and I think you'll do just fine. Of course, as in most things, balance is essential. If you find yourself, as a curmudgeon, sympathizing with Republicans or yelling at children you'll need to dial things back.

      Thespians? Uh oh, I thought all the world was a stage...

      Crap.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
