Got it. And somehow that one particular song did not crash her career. And people managed to like that song too.
BINGO, art isn't always metered or perfect.
I don't take anything personally as an artist other than assholes who want to pigeon hole and label others to their likes.
I know people do not like me personally. The "personal" aspect of this has to do with art in general, not me.
YES I do take it personally when assholes shit on art. Art is not what you or even I like, but what the viewer does.
Yes, people like that song. I'm one of them. I've always like Pat Benatar.
I've already told you that I DON'T insist on rhyme or meter in poetry. Some of the greatest poems ever written are free/blank verse.
Well, we necessarily pigeonhole what we like. Not sure what you mean by this - I have to like everything?
But art IS what you or I like, it can't be anything else, since we are part of the viewing audience. You and I clearly have different tastes (and that's perfectly alright), but so what? If I like a bit of music that you don't, does that make it any less a work of art? No - it is a work of art that appeals to me but not to you. And that's OK, too.
