I much prefer Robbie Williams. He's got real soul and is a born entertainer.

Uhh, you do know that whole left brain/right brain stuff was abandoned by head knockers about 40 years ago? I think TJ just hasn't spent much time thinking about art or looking at the ideas behind it and realising that there is a rationale behind most of the stuff that the Daily Mail has a pop at. As DrJ says, there's more to it than interior design.

It is of no value just to say "this is bad, this is good" without any explanation of what that actually means for you.

No. I f&^*ing LOVE it!

FFS - you guys are so funny. Express a negative opinion of something and get slated.
I think Bjork is pretentious and its "emperors new clothes" Yes Art ( apart from music) does not play a huge part in my life but I do go to exhibitions and art galleries and I do think about this stuff a bit.
To me its about the reaction it arouses in you - the emotion, the questions it asks. Bjork does nothing to me but irritate.
all art is subjective. Thats why I qualified my original statement as I did - showing I understood exactly what the value of my opinion was on this (not much at all).
Dezb - enjoy. You can have my share

on this(not much at all).FTFY
Yes - a throwaway nasty comment, but the point is valid in this context: that your opinion without any qualification is more or less worthless.

I don't think there is anything wrong with expressing a negative opinion, but slating anyone who does like her by saying they're gullible and credulous just makes you sound like an child that can't accept that other people may like different things to you. I'm surprised you felt the need to put that comment it, but since you did you should expect criticism for it.

oh come off it TJ, you've been on here long and often enough to understand that starting off with
IMO an artist in the same way Tracey Emin or Damian Hurst are artists - con artists selling ridiculous rubbish to the gullible and credulous. But hey ho - what do I know and they are all rich
was ALWAYS going to provoke a negative reaction
you were trolling, whether for attention or just for kicks I dunno. But you WERE trolling.
Bjork is odd, but thats not a bad thing. Not into her work but like the variety and madness of it.

No, express an opinion without any support for it or without any education in the area and you are doing so out of ignorance, that is what you are getting slated for. Not because you don't like something, but because you have no idea what you are talking about, yet still want to express strong opinions about it

actually I wasn't - just typing quicker than I thought and not thinking about how what I typed would be perceived. Thats my opinion of her - perhaps I should have been less strong with how I expressed it. I did put the qualifier on so people would realise that I accept that my opinion carries little weight.
And I genuinely did not intend to offend

Charlie - and you are so much better qualified than me to have an opinion on a piece of music? You fail to understand this
But hey ho - what do I know
You like others on here just like an excuse to jump in and give a good kicking.So tell me - how are you qualified to call me ignorant?

Well, I may be wrong, but I suspect most people would be offended by being called "gullible and credulous" But maybe I'm just over-sensitive.

And there it is - we started with the Edinburgh Variation, and finish (cross fingers, touch wood) with the Edinburgh Defence, from the original master.

like i said - been on here too long not know this. Still calling troll. Won't be admitted as once the edinburgh defence has been committed it cannot be retracted.

Has anyone seen any of the work of Bjork's partner, Matthew Barney? I endured (in the nicest possible way!) his Cremaster Cycle a few years ago - the only time I've ever felt like I'd taken drugs after watching cinema. Much of it went way over (and under) my head; but the experience was fascinating.

Indeed and I apologise for that.
Call me a liar if you want - it was not a troll - its was me unthinkingly saying what I thought. This is not "the edinburgh defense" I have never done that and find the accusations of lying offensive.

Perhaps not, but then again I didn't offer one, but it wasn't just music about which you opined either, you went on to offer your opinion about art too.
You fail to understand this
But hey ho - what do I know
I fully understand that, I just have trouble reconciling it with
Its only an opinion. A strong one perhaps but its all it is
You like others on here just like an excuse to jump in and give a good kicking.
Not at all, I, perhaps like others are have just had enough about you spouting shite about stuff when you haven't got a clue. When you speak from an informed or less dogmatic point of view, you'll find I don't jump in a give a kicking.
So tell me - how are you qualified to call me ignorant?
Well, I don't need to be qualified to call you ignorant. However, if you admit to it yourself, like this
But hey ho - what do I know
then I'm only taking your word for it.Posted 10 months ago # -

hmmm i think you have TJ. Are you seriously trying to tell me that you hit the send button without thinking about the effect your words have on people?

Yup - sometimes - as I did here. Type and click send.
I do not lie. I do not post in seriousness and then later claim it was all a big joke.
I do however post intemperately, impetuously and unthinkingly fairly frequently
