One of my friends recently stated she 'just wanted to move in with a bunch of artists in flat in LA', and I had to stop myself from saying something derogatory, such has, "Well, then who'd pay the rent

I think time will determine what was art and what was...pop, for lack of a better term. In a hundred years if we're still listening to her like we read Emily Dickinson poems then I'd believe it's art, at least in someone's eyes. I hate Palmer and most of Dickinson, just to be clear :P

I agree with those sentiments. (esp the part about hating Dickinson and Palmer...although I do like Coin Operated Boy)

Art doesn't have to be great you know. There's bad art too. Although I suppose if we're talking about Amanda Palmer, she thinks her stuff is amazing on some level other art is not? When she declares she is going to do art, it always seems so redundant to me. I mean, yeah, well duh, obviously you're going to make art. But is your piece going to be the Mona Lisa or the Velvet Elvis Painting the Bar downstairs has hanging on their wall. In Palmers case, it's much closer to the latter

"most of the greats don't exactly set out to change the world. They just happen to do it."

Yep. Unfortunately for Amanda Palmer, I don't see her doing it.

Oh man, right above your post on my friend's list is Neil Gaiman's blog post of he and Amanda's psuedo wedding. HAH.

Yeah I saw that later on. And it's... kinda cute.
