Sorry. It’s “f*** ME up for the rest of my life”.

Sounds more like intro to philosophy. Like the Steve Martin line “I took just enough philosophy to f*** up for the rest of my life”.

Is genius only cerebral?

Love comes from the heart, and love is everything. Therefore, art is love and it comes from the heart. I knew that intro to logic class would come in handy at some point…30 years later.

Does that mean that art comes from the heart? I believe so.

How many times have you seen or heard art, especially abstract art, and got what was going on at first glimpse? It’s an immediate emotional rush. If you don’t “see” it right away, you overthink it and the emotional attachment isn’t there.

In another comment section, Pete was referred as a genius. I agree with placing him way above other musicians. To me, genius deals with your mind, how intelligent/smart one is. “Artist” is such an overused word. Does anyone know of a better word for “genius of the heart”?
