Hi All,

Was watching an interview with Marilyn Manson this evening, and something he
said kinda resonated with Pirsig's reconceptualized "art". Maybe I'm wrong, but
here's what he said.

"Art to me is a 'question mark'. I don't think it should ever be an answer. You
know, people ask you what your painting 'means', what your essay 'means'...
that [the painting or essay] is your answer... that is your response." (Manson)

Many have pointed in this direction, but I thought Manson's words were good.
