The disco sound, you must see, is not art or anything so serious.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Artists need to express.
Disco is just pop music you can dance to.
When you look at that period when Warhol and the Velvets and the Stones were doing things, it was this intersection of art and music. And then it went away.
Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist.
It's fun having songs about parties and gigolos, but I really wanted to use my music as a form of art. Art is supposed to spark conversation and make people think, and I wanted to do that with this song.
Art should be serious, not a joke. I don't like to laugh about art.
Music is an art that touches the depth of human existence; an art of sounds that crosses all borders.
Music draws from almost the identical place as art does, which really is that intangible - it's like you're pulling from the ether. I don't know where it comes from.
I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.
