Who's a brand?

[Jeff House <jjthandmeh@juno.com>]

keets:  I am wondering if you saw the entire diary.  I did not at first.  He
must have posted a draft and expanded it later.  Kind of like Lifehouse :-)

My take on the irony talk is that he wants to have it all ways.  He wants to
render his art, criticize it himself, have people enjoy it, and silence the
critics.  He must want that because of the great difficulty in standing up
and baring yourself naked to millions of people as he so often has.  He has
to retain some defense, doesn't he?

I have read Pete quotes (don't recall where) where he discusses the inherent
contradictions in personal artistic expression.  That such an artist has to
be both egotistical and insecure at the same time.  Insecure in the need to
gain acceptance for his thoughts.  Egotistical enough to think that his
inner thoughts are profound enough to deserve a stage.

I am also seeing a great dose of Warhol in this entry.  Anyone else hear
that?
