Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that anyone's creative work is 'crap' or that I'm in position to judge it. I was referring to the'art' created only for the large payoff, such as a lot of pop music. But even that's an unfair stereotype.
Well come on, I'm not even being sarcastic or anything, my cynicism about art in general and my own in particular is very real and kind of a problem. But I get what you mean, sorry for having a bit of fun at your expense.
We're talking past each other - it's kind of funny, actually. My comment was a sincere apology and not a complaint at all. Obviously that wasn't clear, so thanks for your considerate response.
