You don’t think his music has aesthetic qualities?

Have you listened to anything other than the disc crap?

“You don’t think his music has aesthetic qualities?”

Collectively speaking, the coarser pop entertainers have abilities (e.g. play their instruments) that rise to the level of being artistic. A few years ago, the media mouthpieces started calling them artists.

I’m old fashioned. I don’t consider a jar filled with urine and containing a statuette of Christ to be art, to have aesthetic qualities.

People will not agree with each other as to what is art, so let’s not overthink it.
