I think the "inspiration" question cuts a bunch of different ways. I have a songwriter friend in Nashville who won't listen to the radio, ever, at all, because if he does it infects his brain and his subconscious ends up stealing stuff from other people's work. I have writer friends who read 4 or 5 hours a day--more than they write--because, they say, how else are you supposed to learn what's possible? Can I just say, too, that what really strikes me in the galleries here is the great innocence--the almost total lack of irony; Elvis on velvet for the 21st century--pure, unselfconscious kitsch, a true reflection of what's going on in the glands of the broader culture. Very cool, the things that happen when you really democratize art.
