YOU JUST GOT REJECTED1 You applied for a grant to do a multimedia symphony called THE MOTHER SYMPHONY that would be an homage to Mothers everywhere, especially to the COMMON MOTHER of HUMAN BEINGS...(and since your own mother is dying it was to be an awesome homage the world's Fiercest Diva)
THE MOTHER SYMPHONY
Sounds pretty good right? Did I mention that as you conduct the orchestra you would be wearing a pair of sneakers called "The Rap Shoes" that make music whenever you move your feet?
You got REJECTED! and to do a real Symphony you needed that money, you needed mega $ to pay and rehearse musicians!
Don't look for a PATRON! Rich people don't need musicians anymore
because they can turn on the radio and hear music..so why waste money keeping American culture alive?
Pal, I know you were REALLY CLOSE to getting this grant.
YOU WERE SO CLOSE YOU COULD ALMOST TASTE THE VIOLINS!
You want to scream. You want to cry. You want to get drunker than drunk. You want to invent new drugs to take! You want oblivion! You want to DIE!
My friend! Get a hold of yourself. YOU ARE AN ARTIST!
REJECT REJECTION!
You must make yourself ABSOLUTELY NUMB to rejection! Forget it!
Dr. Michael Moon reminded me of a magnificent quote from the late great art critic Clement Greenberg:
"ALL PROFOUNDLY ORIGINAL WORK LOOKS UGLY AT FIRST."
Think about it.
My friend! Dry your tears! It is obvious - You are a genius!
HOT DOG!
Play on...paint on...write on...REJECT REJECTION! Listen only to your own muse!

HOT DOG! My daughter gives you a huge smile and two big toes up for the Rap Shoes. Don't let others allow you to delegitimize your creative process. If you really believe in creativity, the locus of control must always be among you and your muses. Onward! mymoon
ReplyDeletekeep going , Captain Creativity! Remember, Decca Records rejected the Beatles, saying, "we think guitars are on the way out"
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you re: the symphony. We all get knocked down from time to time and it HURTS! The difference between failure and success is simply this ... getting back up again to try once more. So, here's to getting up again in 2009!
