Can we quit acting all surprised that an artist would make a vague and unreadable political statement?

i love that Green Day can makes two critically acclaimed albums of vague political statements but everyone's up M.I.A.'s ass

i don't see the connection, but in the defense of the twitter thing, like, her publicist obv pretty much forced her to tweet all day from pitchfork's twitter, so i think we can ease up on the "omg mia is being so retarded!" aspect of that whole stunt

ahahaha that is bringing the serious lols
What do you think would have happened if George Orwell had the iPad? Do you think he would have written for print then copy and pasted his story into the iBookstore? If this didn’t work out well, do you think he would have complained that there aren’t any serious-readers anymore? No. He would have looked at the medium, then blown our minds....Why not make it like a game so that in order to get to the next ‘chapter’ you need to pass a test? Does the content of the book even need to be created entirely by me? Can I leave some parts of it open to edit by those who buy it and read it? Do I need to charge $9.99, or can I charge $99.99?...I’m 21

I mean I don't necessarily disagree with him and look forward to the creation of new mediums for art & expression but are you really gonna big up GEORGE ORWELL as some sort of misunderstood literary anarchist who just didn't have the proper tools to express himself with at the time

No reservations are taken, so unless you eat in daylight or draw good luck, there’s going to be a wait for a table, time spent standing at a bar that was crowded when you arrived and will be when you leave. Also, as the waiters will tell you when you do get a seat, the food comes out when the kitchen prepares it, according to the kitchen’s own needs and schedule, which means there is no real structure to the meals.
