I couldn't agree with you more. But I think it's pretty obvious, whether you're watching a chef, a basketball player, a folksinger, or Ellery Eskelin, that you can tell who's really got the goods, even if you're not familar with the medium at hand. I think people who don't know from classical piano can tell the difference between Liberace (who could actually play real well when he forgot he was in showbiz) and Glenn Gould.<<<
If you don't think Ikue Mori has that, you're nuts.<<<
Interesting observations from one who puts the audience as final arbitrator in the assessment of the quality of art. Now 'who' is it that 'really has the goods?' Glenn Gould and Ikue Mori. And if the audience doesn't think so, the audience is nuts.
