ARTISTS
...And No One Else Wanted to Play
Artists鈥uck you! Who gave you this designation? Was it your mother? Or did you take upon yourself this mantle during some formative phase of your elementary education? Isn鈥檛 that a little bit like calling yourself a professional genius, or a visionary for hire? And the heaps of praise and pity that get piled upon you鈥ike you鈥檙e something that must be nurtured, protected, lifted higher to the cultural firmament which is, as auntie promised, your birthright. And how your labor is something that deserves equal protection and recognition鈥hat you deserve benefits like your former classmates who settled ingloriously into middle management, ensconced in all their nationally endowed rights as rapacious, morally and ethically impoverished kulaks. As if your labor has something in common with the farmworker picking cantaloupes or sorghum!
