A Theory of Music, Art & Madness

I just re-ran across an old McLaughlin interview that has some insights on art, conventions, and the good kind of madness. But no, it won't tell you how to hold your pick...
Pages of Fire: Articles: John McLaughlin's Devout Madness

Quote:
"We need the restraints of convention and structure to help us avoid self-indulgence, since we are all self-indulgent to some extent. How do you know you're being self-indulgent? I don't know. In the end, everything's a question of taste, I suppose - up to the point when taste disappears, and you're in a state of grace where taste doesn't matter." Now he's thinking and speaking of himself, playing on some present-day stage. "You're in another reality, an altered reality, an altered state of consciousness. Well, who wants to be in the usual state of consciousness, as it's been fabricated by society? The intellectualization of everything, the discrimination of everything - and we take that as being the most real!"

"I was not ever interested in the music of boys. From my youngest years, I was interested in the music of men." - Eric Clapton
