  Re: Are you going to start listing your allegedly academic accomplishments to try and force people to respect you more?

  YOU :Are you going to start listing your allegedly academic accomplishments :
  
  ME : not alleged,, very well factual . want references?
  
  
  YOU :to try and force people to respect you more?
  
  
  
  Me : Respect form a Pirate is not true respect. Respect for moral , peace-loving sane human beings --- that is RESPECT .
  =========================
  RESPECT : Aretha Franklin -

  Aretha Franklin -- "the Queen of rock & soul;" -- it really does not get any better than this musically. ( not only a great singer,, but she also she plays piano like an angel too.)

  I don't think I'm an artist, I actually am one because I make art and have been all my life.

  I don't think I'm an artist, I actually am one because I make art and have been all my life.
  
  
  ANS: very true . I agree 100%. I think therefore I am.
  
  I make art , I am an Artist.
  
  But you can still e a bad Artist,,, with zero respect of your Artistic peers.
  
  but only Clapton , can tell me I am a good musical Artist. ( for me ,, Bob Dylan would not count guitar-wise , ( Sorry Bob , but i know you understand my point. Love ya' Bob !!)

  Also I dont see musicians covered by that clause in anyway.

  The section "useful arts" refers to the works of artisans, people skilled in manufacturing. Also I dont see musicians covered by that clause in anyway.
  
  ANS : then why brake the law to download musician song illegally.
  
  OR BUY THEM WITH $$$-- if your a nice person.
  
  MUSIC IS A VALUABLE ART !!
  
  A world w/o the BEATLEs would not be as nice

  Re: Re: . If this is an example of your song writing, you need to learn how to fry chips.

  a lot of artist , THINK they are artists.
  
  Painting and writing,, your ego can judge your skills ..
  
  When YOU sit next to Eric Clapton ,, you can't fake your atheistic ARTISTIC skills.
  
  Being a musician is like studying the "force " to become a Jedi.
  
  You can fake out a master.
  
  Many musicians call me "master" -- REALLY.
  
  And Eric Clapton -- he is the "High Master" "Musical Jedi."

  hide behind "dyslexia" as a crutch.

  Me : No hides behind an innate DISABILITY -- physical or Bio-biological.
  
  Being disabled -- at any level -- means "bravely confronting" one's disability EVERY day ,---- often in pain and mental stress,,
  
  To meet , defeat , and overcome , the Disability.
  
  To turn the "dis-advantage of disability" into the "Advantage of accomplishment"---- and the joy that "true accomplishment" through "sweat and pain and hard work" brings.
  
  Learn a little about LIFE -- will you .
  
  READ MORE -- WRITE LESS
