Because he’s so right on:
“Maybe one can be too reverent towards an art….You come to revere the art in a way that can be counter-productive…it can lead to romantic images that have to do with focusing on being an artist rather than on the art. Kids…are sent to college as if it were a trade school, and pursuing an art can seem like sacrificing economic security, as if one is required to starve and suffer as supplicants do. Rather than thinking of a craft that you work to learn and do in humility every day, you think of these grand rebel images and end up posturing. Rock, the pop art we all grow up with, reinforces that model. The risk is that on the page you end up settling for attitude rather than experience or imagination.”
